The GetUserObjectSecurity function retrieves security information for the specified user object.

Parameters

hObject

Identifies the user object to return security information for.

SecurityInformation

DescriptorLength

Specifies the length in bytes of the buffer pointed to by ResultantDescriptor.

ReturnLength

Pointer to a variable that the function will set to the actual number of bytes needed to store the requested information. If the value returned is greater than the value specified by DescriptorLength, the function returns the value STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL and stores no information into the buffer.
