Hi everyone,

Is there a way to assign permissions to native applications in Windows? Like
app x can only access this and this directories, app y cannot impersonate
the remote users, etc. Something similar to the .NET Framework code access
security mechanism.

Regards...

No. For native apps access control is handled entirely by the user context
the app executes in - with one BIG exception.

The big exception is services. With Vista a service can have a SID and be
treated as a regular user that you can assign and revoke permissions to.
