Hi, everybody
I have some private objects which I would like to secure. These objects have
some hierarchical relationship similar to those found in the file system and
registry. Is it possible to use standard mechanisms for inheriting access
rights from parent object, propagation etc. in case of private objects? If
yes, where can I possibly find some examples of proper way of doing this
kind of things?
I'm using CreatePrivateObjectSecurity, SetPrivateObjectSecurity,
GetPrivateObjectSecurity functions to get/set private object's security and
they are working fine on each particular object, however I'm not sure
whether I can use them to define hierarchical inheritance of rights in the
same way in which files can inherit some rights from their folders which in
turn inherited them from their parent folders etc. Ability to inherit rights
and to define the hierarchy for this inheritance is the key point for me and
I will appreciate very much if you can give any ideas on this matter. I'm
sure that this is quite a common task and will be surprised if there is no
appropriate support for this kind of things in Windows
Thanks in advance,
Antonio
