Adjusts the Security Descriptor of the target process to usually harden the process from tampering

titleIntroduced in 7.1 SP3

...

Adjusting process security allows a process to be protected from most tampering by users. For example, it can be used to restrict who can stop a process from the task manager. It is also recommended that all adjusting of process security is done in a test environment before it is deployed to the production environment.

Creation of the security descriptor

The security descriptor defines who has what rights to the process that is started.

From the "Security Descriptors - User Defined" (Under Policies) we can create a new Process Security Descriptor where we will define what rights each user or group has to the process. (It is strongly recommended that the System has Full Control always.)
