!!! Overview [{$pagename}] ([SRM]) is a [Microsoft Windows] system used to implement security in the [Microsoft Windows]. [{$pagename}] determines whether [access] to a [resource] is allowed. The SRM works with the user-mode security subsystem, used for [Authentication Request] user logons to the [Microsoft Windows].All [Microsoft Windows] [Security Principal Objects] have a [Security Descriptor], the [Access Control List] ([ACL]), associated with consists of individual elements called [Access Control Entry] ([ACEs]). Each [ACE] contains a [Security Identifier] ([SID]) of a user of group. A [SID] is an internal number used with a [Microsoft Windows] to describe a user and a group uniquely among [Microsoft Windows] computers. In addition to the [SID], the [ACE] contains a list of actions permitted or denied to a user or group. When a user logs on to a [Microsoft Windows] computer after successful [authentication], a [MSFT Access Token] is created for the user. The [MSFT Access Token] contains the [SID] of the user and the [SIDs] of all the groups to which the user belongs. The [MSFT Access Token] is used to verify all user actions. [{$pagename}], when a logged-on user accesses an object, checks the object's [Security Descriptor] to see whether a [SID] listed in the [MSFT Access Token] matches an [ACE] entry. If a match exists, the security [permissions] listed in the matching [ACE] apply to that user. !!
