RtlAddAccessAllowedAceEx function

Description

The RtlAddAccessAllowedAceEx routine adds an access-allowed access control entry (ACE ) with inheritance ACE flags to an access control list (ACL). The access is granted to the specified security identifier (SID).

Parameters

Acl [in, out]

A pointer to a caller-allocated buffer that contains the ACL to be modified. RtlAddAccessAllowedAceEx adds an access-allowed ACE to the end of this ACL. The ACE is in the form of an ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE structure.

AceRevision [in]

ACL revision level of the ACE to be added. This value can be ACL_REVISION or ACL_REVISION_DS. It must be ACL_REVISION_DS if the ACL contains an object-specific ACE.

AceFlags [in]

Bitmask specifying the inherit flags of the ACE to be added.

AccessMask [in]

A bitmask of one or more ACCESS_MASK flags that specify the access rights to be granted to the specified SID. For more information, see the description of the DesiredAccess parameter of ZwCreateFile.

Sid [in]

A pointer to the SID structure that represents a user, group, or logon account that is being granted access.

Return value

RtlAddAccessAllowedAceEx can return one of the following values:

Return code Description
STATUS_SUCCESS The ACE was successfully added.
STATUS_ALLOTTED_SPACE_EXCEEDED A new ACE does not fit into the ACL. A larger ACL buffer is required. For more information about how to calculate the size of an ACL, see RtlCreateAcl.
STATUS_INVALID_ACL The specified ACL is not correctly formed.
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER The AceFlags parameter was invalid.
STATUS_INVALID_SID The specified SID structure is not structurally valid.
STATUS_REVISION_MISMATCH The specified AceRevision is not known or is not compatible with that of the ACL.

Remarks

Unlike RtlAddAccessAllowedAce, this routine sets the inheritance ACE flags.
