The ISecurityInformation interface enables the access control editor to communicate with the caller of the
CreateSecurityPage and
EditSecurity functions. The editor calls the interface methods to retrieve information that is used to initialize its pages and to determine the editing options available to the user. The editor also calls the interface methods to pass the user's input back to the application.
The LPSECURITYINFO type is a pointer to an ISecurityInformation object.
When To Implement
You must implement the ISecurityInformation interface if you use the CreateSecurityPage or EditSecurity functions.
When To Use
Applications do not call the ISecurityInformation methods. The system calls the interface methods to communicate with the application that called
CreateSecurityPage or
EditSecurity.

The ISecurityInformation interface inherits the methods of the IUnknown interface.
In addition, ISecurityInformation defines the following methods.
