Windows securable resources should support SIDs

[smurawski]

We should support supplying the SID for users and groups for user resource, group resource, and any windows securables.

Hey folks!

Just wondering if this is going to get prioritized soon. I've just started a new project with Chef that deals with multiple base language versions of Windows, so the ability to target rights via SID is the way I would like to go.

Thanks for all your awesome efforts!

Windows DSC supports using SIDs, would be nice to have parity since due to issues with dsc_resource and dsc_script I'm forced to use the directory resource.

Checking in on this, (I'm open to other options out there), currently trying to set permissions for some ohai plugins

e.g. rights :full_control, 'Administrators' and getting

Chef::Exceptions::Win32APIError: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.

This is whenever 'Administrators' / Authenticated Users is in another language, i.e.
Usuários autenticados. This would be a lot more universal with SIDs instead.
