GetSecurityDescriptorGroup function (securitybaseapi.h)
The GetSecurityDescriptorGroup function retrieves the primary group information from a security descriptor.
Syntax
BOOL GetSecurityDescriptorGroup(
[in] PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSecurityDescriptor,
[out] PSID *pGroup,
[out] LPBOOL lpbGroupDefaulted
);
Parameters
[in] pSecurityDescriptor
A pointer to a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure whose primary group information the function retrieves.
[out] pGroup
A pointer to a pointer to a security identifier (SID) that identifies the primary group when the function returns. If the security descriptor does not contain a primary group, the function sets the pointer pointed to by pGroup to NULL and ignores the remaining output parameter, lpbGroupDefaulted. If the security descriptor contains a primary group, the function sets the pointer pointed to by pGroup to the address of the security descriptor's group SID and provides a valid value for the variable pointed to by lpbGroupDefaulted.
[out] lpbGroupDefaulted
A pointer to a flag that is set to the value of the SE_GROUP_DEFAULTED flag in the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_CONTROL structure when the function returns. If the value stored in the variable pointed to by the pGroup parameter is NULL, no value is set.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the function returns nonzero.
If the function fails, it returns zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
