Hi, I saw that, my problem is that I'm trying to use win32security.ConvertSecurityDescriptorToStringSecurityDescriptor() which is returning a self-relative SDDL and I need one that is absolute. Is there a flag that I can set and get an absolute SDDL from that function? In the Microsoft documentation for ConvertSecurityDescriptorToStringSecurityDescriptor() it says, as to what it "returns":
A pointer to a variable that receives a pointer to the converted security descriptor. The returned security descriptor is self-relative. To free the returned buffer, call the LocalFree function. To convert the security descriptor to an absolute security descriptor, use the MakeAbsoluteSD function.
