Establishing Inheritance of Namespace Security

You can control whether a child namespace inherits the security descriptor of the parent namespace.

WMI namespaces have security descriptors that control who can access the namespace and the data of the namespace. Each security descriptor has a discretionary access control list (DACL) and a security access control list (SACL). These lists contain access control entries (ACE).

Depending on the Namespace ACE Flag Constants that are set, permissions that are applied to a namespace may be inherited by all the child namespaces of that namespace. A child namespace inherits the security descriptor of its parent namespace when the child namespace is created if the CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE flag is in the parent namespace security descriptor. If CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE|NO_PROPOGATE_INHERIT_ACE is set, then only the child namespace inherits the security descriptor, not grandchild namespaces. Child namespaces can override the security permissions of their parent by calling methods of the __SystemSecurity class to write a new security descriptor. The default security settings cannot be changed. For more information, see Setting Namepace Security Descriptors.For more information about DACLs, see Access Control Lists (ACL) and Namespace ACE Type Constants.

Note that the default permissions cannot be changed. Furthermore, setting the SE_DACL_PROTECTED flag while setting the security descriptor (SD) is not used to add a specialized SD to a child namespace. To override an inherited SD, simply set a new one. To inherit that SD to a child namespace, pass the CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE flag in the namespace security descriptor. To inherit to just the child, and not the descendants, pass CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE|NO_PROPOGATE_INHERIT_ACE
