Windows - Well-known SIDs - RID's

Well-known security identifiers (SIDs) identify generic groups and generic users. For example, there are well-known SIDs to identify the following groups and users:

  • Everyone or World, which is a group that includes all users.
  • CREATOR_OWNER, which is used as a placeholder in an inheritable ACE. When the ACE is inherited, the system replaces the CREATOR_OWNER SID with the SID of the object's creator.
  • The Administrators group for the built-in domain on the local computer.

There are universal well-known SIDs, which are meaningful on all secure systems using this security model, including operating systems other than Windows. In addition, there are well-known SIDs that are meaningful only on Windows systems.
