Code Access Security for native Apps

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...

RE: Code Access Security for native Apps

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.
