| Platform SDK: Access Control |
The following privilege constants are defined for Windows NT/Windows 2000. These constants are defined as strings in WINNT.H. For example, the SE_AUDIT_NAME constant is defined as "SeAuditPrivilege".
The functions that get and adjust the privileges in an access token use the LUID type to identify privileges. Use the LookupPrivilegeValue function to determine the LUID on the local system that corresponds to a privilege constant. Use the LookupPrivilegeName function to convert a LUID to its corresponding string constant.
