NAME
sec_acl_test_access - Tests access to an object
SYNOPSIS
#include <dce/daclif.h>
boolean32 sec_acl_test_access(
sec_acl_handle_t h,
uuid_t *manager_type,
sec_acl_permset_t desired_permset,
error_status_t *status);
PARAMETERS
Input
h A handle referring to the target object. Use sec_acl_bind() to
create this handle.
manager_type
A pointer to the UUID identifying the type of the ACL manager
in question. There may be more than one type of ACL manager
protecting the object whose ACL is bound to the input handle.
Use this parameter to distinguish them. Use
sec_acl_get_manager_types() to acquire a list of the manager
types protecting a given object.
desired_permset
A permission set in sec_acl_permset_t form containing the desired
privileges. This is a 32-bit set of permission flags supported by
the manager type.
Output
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion,
the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an
error.
DESCRIPTION
The sec_acl_test_access() routine determines if the specified ACL
contains entries granting privileges to the calling process matching
those in desired_permset. An application generally only inquires after
the minimum set of privileges needed to accomplish a specific task.
Permissions Required
The sec_acl_test_access() routine requires at least one permission of
any kind on the object for which the privileges are to be tested.
FILES
SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]DACLIF.IDL
The idl file from which dce/daclif.h was derived.
RETURN VALUES
The routine returns TRUE if the calling application program is
authorized to access the target object with the privileges in
desired_permset.
ERRORS
sec_acl_unknown_manager_type
The manager type selected is not an available option.
error_status_ok
The call was successful.
