SYNOPSIS

Sets selected security descriptor sections on pinned live processes.

SYNTAX

Process (Default)

Set-ProcessSecurityDescriptor [-InputObject] <Object[]> -Sddl <String>
 [-Sections <WindowsSecurityDescriptorSection>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-PassThru]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Handle

Set-ProcessSecurityDescriptor -Handle <IntPtr[]> -Sddl <String> [-Sections <WindowsSecurityDescriptorSection>]
 [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-PassThru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Parses SDDL as data, opens PID targets once with a verified creation identity, and persists only selected sections to that process instance.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Set-ProcessSecurityDescriptor -ProcessId $PID -Sddl 'D:(A;;GR;;;WD)' -Sections Access -WhatIf

Previews replacing only the current process DACL.

PARAMETERS

-Handle

One or more caller-owned process handles that the module never closes.

Aliases: Process, Id, ProcessId

Required: True
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-PassThru

Returns the stored selected descriptor sections after persistence.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: False
