Abstract
A technique for controlling a software process's access to securable objects that utilizes the native security mechanisms of an operating system. According to an aspect of the technique (i) a group is created, (ii) rights for the group are defined, (iii) the group is associated with a program image and (iv) the group is assigned to processes created from the program image. Specifically, access tokens associated with processes created from the program image are modified to include the groups associated with the program image. The modified access tokens are used by the operating system's native security mechanisms to determine if the processes, created from the program image, may gain access to securable objects.
