What is the CREATOR OWNER?

Created on 2003-02-25 by Rainer Gerhards.

Includes the user account for a user who created or took ownership of a resource.

If a member of the Administrators group creates a resource, the Administrators group is the owner of the resource. This group is created for each sharable resource on Windows 2000 Server or Professional. A placeholder in an inheritable access control entry (ACE). When the ACE is inherited, the system replaces this SID with the SID for the object's creator.

This information was verified with Windows 2000.
