security descriptor

In Windows 2000, it is possible to set security for objects because every object has a security descriptor. The security descriptor is where the security settings for the object are stored. A security descriptor consists of the security identifier (SID) of the object owner, a group SID used by the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) subsystem and Services for Macintosh, a discretionary access control list (DACL), and a system access control list (SACL).
