Apologies if this is the wrong forum. If so, I would appreciate a pointer to the correct one.
Now the question.
When retrieving security descriptors using GetFileSecurity() I find that occasionally the SDs returned for the same object at different times have an extra ACE in their DACL. The SID of this ACE is always of the type SidTypeAlias. What does this mean? I have looked through MSDN and I have googled it to death but cannot find a defintion. The MSDN description of the SID_NAME_USE enumeration is: SidTypeAlias: An alias SIDNot very useful.Thanks in advance,
