A group that includes all users whose identities were authenticated when they logged on. |
| RESTRICTED_CODE

ACL validation against tokens with RC consists of two checks, one against the token’s normal list of SIDs and one against a second list (typically containing RC – the “RESTRICTED_CODE” token – and a subset of the original token SIDs). Access is granted only if a token passes both tests. Any ACL that specifies RC must also specify WD – the “EVERYONE” token. When RC is paired with WD in an ACL, a superset of “EVERYONE”, including untrusted code, is described. |
