AccessCheck

The AccessCheck function is used by a server application to check a client's access to an object against the access control associated with the object.

BOOL AccessCheck(

PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSecurityDescriptor,
// pointer to security descriptor
HANDLE ClientToken,
// handle to client access token
DWORD DesiredAccess,
// access mask to request
PGENERIC_MAPPING GenericMapping,
// address of generic-mapping structure
PPRIVILEGE_SET PrivilegeSet,
// address of privilege-set structure
LPDWORD PrivilegeSetLength,
// size of privilege-set structure
LPDWORD GrantedAccess,
// address of granted access mask
LPBOOL AccessStatus
// address of flag indicating whether access granted
);

Parameters

pSecurityDescriptor

Pointer to a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure against which access is checked.

ClientToken

Identifies an access token representing a client attempting to gain access.

This handle must be obtained from a communications session layer pics/WIN3200090001.gif for instance, a named pipe pics/WIN3200090001.gif to prevent possible security policy violations.

DesiredAccess

Specifies the access mask to be requested. This mask must have been mapped by the MapGenericMask function to contain no generic access rights.

GenericMapping

Pointer to the GENERIC_MAPPING structure associated with the object for which access is being checked.

PrivilegeSet

Pointer to a PRIVILEGE_SET structure that the function fills with any privileges used to perform the access validation. If no privileges were used, the buffer contains a privilege set consisting of zero privileges.

PrivilegeSetLength

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the PrivilegeSet parameter.

GrantedAccess

Pointer to a variable the function fills with an access mask indicating which access rights were granted. If the function fails, this access mask is not supplied.

AccessStatus

Pointer to a flag indicating the success or failure of the access check. If AccessStatus is TRUE, the access token has the requested access to the object. If AccessStatus is FALSE, the access token does not have the requested access. When this parameter is FALSE, the application can use the GetLastError function to get extended error information.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The AccessCheck function compares the specified security descriptor with the specified access token and indicates, in the AccessStatus parameter, whether access is granted or denied. If access is granted, the requested access mask becomes the object's granted access mask.

Only the discretionary access-control list is examined during an access check.

Nostalgia .Net     Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes.  More »
