The tabs in the Standard User Analyzer (SUA) tool show the User Account Control (UAC) issues for the applications that you analyze.

The following table provides a description of each tab on the user interface for the SUA tool.

Tab name Description
App Info Provides the following information for the selected application:
  • Debugging information
  • Error, warning, and informational messages (if they are enabled)
  • Options for running the application
    		•
    File Provides information about access to the file system.

    For example, this tab might show an attempt to write to a file that only administrators can typically access.
    Registry Provides information about access to the system registry.

    For example, this tab might show an attempt to write to a registry key that only administrators can typically access.
    INI Provides information about WriteProfile API issues.

    For example, in the Calculator tool (Calc.exe) in Windows® XP, when you change the view from Standard to Scientific, Calc.exe calls the WriteProfile API to write to the Windows\Win.ini file. The Win.ini file is writable only for administrators.
    Token Provides information about access-token checking.

    For example, this tab might show an explicit check for the Builtin\Administrators security identifier (SID) in the user's access token. This operation may not work for a standard user.
    Privilege Provides information about permissions.

    For example, this tab might show an attempt to explicitly enable permissions that do not work for a standard user.
    Name Space Provides information about creation of system objects.

    For example, this tab might show an attempt to create a new system object, such as an event or a memory map, in a restricted namespace. Applications that attempt this kind of operation do not function for a standard user.
    Other Objects Provides information related to applications accessing objects other than files and registry keys.
    Process Provides information about process elevation.

    For example, this tab might show the use of the CreateProcess API to open an executable (.exe) file that, in turn, requires process elevation that will not function for a standard user.
