SD Edit GUI - Introduction

This program allows you to modify the security descriptor present on a variety of securible objects on Windows NT. It is designed to expose the full functionality of security descriptors across all objects that have them. This tool is designed for experts that need precise control over security descriptors. Do not use this tool for modifications unless you understand exactly how the NT security system works.

Requirements

Fully functional on Windows 2000 or later. Basic support for Windows NT 3.51 or later. Active Directory support currently requires at least Windows 2000; NT4 not working even with the Active Directory client. Note that versions of Windows prior to 2000 do not support auto-inheritance. No support for Win 9x/ME.
