+# This class maps POSIX owner, group, and modes to the Windows
+# security model, and back.
+#
+# The primary goal of this mapping is to ensure that owner, group, and
+# modes can be round-tripped in a consistent and deterministic
+# way. Otherwise, Puppet might think file resources are out-of-sync
+# every time it runs. A secondary goal is to provide equivalent
+# permissions for common use-cases. For example, setting the owner to
+# "Administrators", group to "Users", and mode to 750 (which also
+# denies access to everyone else.
+#
+# There are some well-known problems mapping windows and POSIX
+# permissions due to differences between the two security
+# models. Search for "POSIX permission mapping leak". In POSIX, access
+# to a file is determined solely based on the most specific class
+# (user, group, other). So a mode of 460 would deny write access to
+# the owner even if they are a member of the group. But in Windows,
+# the entire access control list is walked until the user is
+# explicitly denied or allowed (denied take precedence, and if neither
+# occurs they are denied). As a result, a user could be allowed access
+# based on their group membership. To solve this problem, other people
+# have used deny access control entries to more closely model POSIX,
+# but this introduces a lot of complexity.
+#
+# In general, this implementation only supports "typical" permissions,
+# where group permissions are a subset of user, and other permissions
+# are a subset of group, e.g. 754, but not 467.  However, there are
+# some Windows quirks to be aware of.
+#
+# * The owner can be either a user or group SID, and most system files
+#   are owned by the Administrators group.
+# * The group can be either a user or group SID.
+# * Unexpected results can occur if the owner and group are the
+#   same, but the user and group classes are different, e.g. 750. In
+#   this case, it is not possible to allow write access to the owner,
+#   but not the group. As a result, the actual permissions set on the
+#   file would be 770.
+# * In general, only privileged users can set the owner, group, or
+#   change the mode for files they do not own. In 2003, the user must
+#   be a member of the Administrators group. In Vista/2008, the user
+#   must be running with elevated privileges.
+# * A file/dir can be deleted by anyone with the DELETE access right
+#   OR by anyone that has the FILE_DELETE_CHILD access right for the
+#   parent. See https://support.microsoft.com/kb/238018. But on Unix,
+#   the user must have write access to the file/dir AND execute access
+#   to all of the parent path components.
+# * Many access control entries are inherited from parent directories,
+#   and it is common for file/dirs to have more than 3 entries,
+#   e.g. Users, Power Users, Administrators, SYSTEM, etc, which cannot
+#   be mapped into the 3 class POSIX model. The get_mode method will
+#   set the S_IEXTRA bit flag indicating that an access control entry
+#   was found whose SID is neither the owner, group, or other. This
+#   enables Puppet to detect when file/dirs are out-of-sync,
+#   especially those that Puppet did not create, but is attempting
+#   to manage.
+# * A special case of this is S_ISYSTEM_MISSING, which is set when the
+#   SYSTEM permissions are *not* present on the DACL.
+# * On Unix, the owner and group can be modified without changing the
+#   mode. But on Windows, an access control entry specifies which SID
+#   it applies to. As a result, the set_owner and set_group methods
+#   automatically rebuild the access control list based on the new
+#   (and different) owner or group.
