GetAuditedPermissionsFromAcl info  Overview  Group

The GetAuditedPermissionsFromAcl function returns the audited access rights for a specified trustee. The audited rights are based on the access-control entries (ACEs) of a specified access-control list (ACL). The audited access rights indicate the types of access attempts that cause the system to generate an audit record in the system event log. The audited rights include those that the ACL specifies for the trustee or for any groups of which the trustee is a member. In determining the audited rights, the function does not consider the security privileges held by the trustee.

DWORD GetAuditedPermissionsFromAcl(

Parameters

pacl

Pointer to an ACL from which to get the trustee’s audited access rights.

pTrustee

Pointer to a TRUSTEE structure that identifies the trustee. A trustee can be a user, group, or program (such as a Windows NT service). You can use a name or a security identifier (SID) to identify a trustee.

pSuccessfulAuditedRights

Pointer to an ACCESS_MASK variable that receives a set of access rights. The system generates an audit record when the trustee successfully uses any of these access rights.

pFailedAuditRights

Pointer to an ACCESS_MASK variable that receives a set of access rights based on the access-control entries in the specified ACL. The system generates an audit record when the trustee fails in an attempt to use any of these rights.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code defined in WINERROR.H.

Remarks

The GetAuditedPermissionsFromAcl function checks all system-audit ACEs in the ACL to determine the audited rights for the trustee. For all ACEs that specify audited rights for a group, GetAuditedPermissionsFromAcl enumerates the members of the group to determine whether the trustee is a member. The function returns an error if it cannot enumerate the members of a group.
