GetSidSubAuthority function (securitybaseapi.h)
The GetSidSubAuthority function returns a pointer to a specified subauthority in a security identifier (SID). The subauthority value is a relative identifier (RID).
Syntax
PDWORD GetSidSubAuthority(
[in] PSID pSid,
[in] DWORD nSubAuthority
);
Parameters
[in] pSid
A pointer to the SID structure from which a pointer to a subauthority is to be returned.
This function does not handle SID structures that are not valid. Call the IsValidSid function to verify that the SID structure is valid before you call this function.
[in] nSubAuthority
Specifies an index value identifying the subauthority array element whose address the function will return. The function performs no validation tests on this value. An application can call the GetSidSubAuthorityCount function to discover the range of acceptable values.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is a pointer to the specified SID subauthority. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
If the function fails, the return value is undefined. The function fails if the specified SID structure is not valid or if the index value specified by the nSubAuthority parameter is out of bounds.
Remarks
The SID structure specified in pSid uses a 32-bit RID value. For applications that require longer RID values, use CreateWellKnownSid and related functions.
