Give users the right to restart a service

Question

Based on http://serverfault.com/questions/166641/how-to-give-rights-to-one-user-for-the-restart-of-a-service

I've tried the command

sc sdset My.Service (A;;RPWP;;;S-1-1-0)

which i believe should give all users permission to restart My.Service

when I run the command

the error is:

[SC] ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptor FAILED 87:    
wrong parameter

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

sc sdset My.Service D:(A;;RPWP;;;S-1-1-0)

sc succeeds, but net.exe and sc.exe gives permission denied

Answer 1

You need to prefix the entires with D: like this:

sc sdset My.Service D:(A;;RPWP;;;S-1-1-0)
