2.4.3 ACCESS_MASK

An ACCESS_MASK is a 32-bit set of flags that are used to encode the user rights to an object. An access mask is used both to encode the rights to an object assigned to a principal and to encode the requested access when opening an object.

The bits with an X value in the table below are used for object-specific user rights. A file object would encode, for example, Read Access and Write Access. A registry key object would encode Create Subkey and Read Value, for example.

Note The bits with a value of X are reserved for use by specific protocols that make use of the ACCESS_MASK data type. The nature of this usage differs according to each protocol and is implementation-specific.

The bits in positions 0 through 3 in the following table are generic rights that can be mapped to object-specific user rights by the resource manager for the requested object. The mapping of these rights is implementation-specific.

The bits with an R value in the table below are reserved.

The bits in positions 6 and 7 are for maximum allowed and access system security rights.

The bits in positions 11 through 15 are standard rights that are common to all objects.

If the GR/GW/GX/GA bits are set in an ACE structure that is already attached to an object, requesting access might produce unintended results. This is because the Access Check algorithm does not map generic rights to object-specific rights for ACE structures. This mapping is only made for the requested ACCESS_MASK passed as a parameter to the Access Check algorithm, as specified in section 2.5.3.2.
