private static final class CommonFiles.WindowsWellKnownIdentities extends Object
Windows Well-Known Security Identifiers (SIDs) for use with ACL operations. In early days of Windows NT-based systems, there existed a collection of user and group named pre-defined in the system. But the names like "Authenticated Users", "Everyone", and "CREATOR OWNER" aren't the canonical names for the concepts and have changed over time. The names used in the current OS version must be looked up using the SID assigned to the security principal.
