windows:userright_v2

Description

The windows:userright_v2 test is used to enumerate all of the trustees/SIDs that have been granted a specific user right/privilege.

The userright_object is used to collect the trustees/SIDs that have been granted a specific user right/privilege.

The userright_state element includes the name of a particular user right/privilege, the unique name and ID associated with the SID that has been granted the specified user right/privilege.

Test Type Parameters

windows.userright_trustee_name_v2

Name

Type

Description

datatype

string

datatype of the value.

operation

string

Comparison operation.

check

string

Defines how many collected items must match the expected state.

trustee_name

string

The trustee_name entity is the unique name associated with the SID that has been granted the specified user right/privilege. A trustee can be associated with a user, group, or program (such as a Windows service). In Windows, trustee names are case-insensitive. As a result, it is recommended that the case-insensitive operations are used for this entity.

  • boolean

  • float

  • int

  • string

  • version

  • set

NOTE: The check parameter is governed by a constraint allowing only the following values:
  • all

  • at least one

  • none satisfy

  • only one

NOTE: The operation parameter is governed by a constraint allowing only the following values:
  • equals

  • not equal

  • case insensitive equals

  • case insensitive not equal

  • greater than

  • less than

  • greater than or equal

  • less than or equal

  • bitwise and

  • bitwise or

  • pattern match

  • subset of
