-# TRACELOG_CREATE_REALTIME, TRACELOG_GUID_ENABLE, TRACELOG_LOG_EVENT) to\r
-# SYSTEM, Administrators, the service accounts, and BUILTIN\Performance Log\r
-# Users - and to nobody else. That group is the supported hook; its own\r
-# description says members "may ... enable trace providers, and collect event\r
-# traces".\r
-#\r
-# 2. Switching on the kernel/system trace provider on top of that needs the\r
-# SeSystemProfilePrivilege user right ("Profile system performance"), held by\r
-# default only by Administrators and NT SERVICE\WdiServiceHost. That is the\r
-# one wpr names in its error.\r
-#\r
-# 3. The kernel logger is not covered by that default descriptor. Its own GUID -\r
-# SystemTraceControlGuid, the session both `xperf -on` and wpr drive - carries\r
-# an explicit descriptor that does not mention Performance Log Users, so 1 and\r
-# 2 are not enough by themselves. Measured on this box with both in place: a\r
-# user-mode session starts (exit 0) and the account holds the privilege, and\r
-# `xperf -on base` still answers "NT Kernel Logger: Access is denied" while\r
-# wpr's error changes from the policy message above to a bare 0x80070005.\r
-# Even READING that descriptor comes back access-denied, which is the tell. So\r
-# add an ACE for the group with EventAccessControl; TRACELOG_ACCESS_KERNEL_LOGGER\r
-# is the right that names this particular session.\r
-#\r
-# The privilege and the ACE both go to the GROUP, and the account then goes into\r
-# the group: membership alone becomes the switch, and enabling the next account\r
-# is one `net localgroup` away with no policy or registry edit.\r
-#\r
-# What this costs, stated plainly: a member of that group can capture\r
-# system-wide kernel traces - process, image, file and registry activity across\r
-# every account on the box, paths and command lines included. That is what the\r
-# group is for, and it is the price of collecting a trace without a UAC prompt.\r
-#\r
-# Deliberately NOT granted: SeDebugPrivilege. xperf needs it for neither CPU\r
-# sampling nor walking stacks in your own processes, and it is equivalent to\r
-# handing out administrator.\r
-#\r
-# THIS ONLY HELPS A NON-ADMIN ACCOUNT. Both a privilege and a group membership\r
-# are baked into the access token at LOGON, and UAC hands an administrator a\r
-# filtered token that keeps just five harmless privileges - so an admin's\r
-# ordinary shell still cannot trace, however the policy reads. Running as a\r
-# standard user is what makes this work.\r
-#\r
-# For the same reason 1 and 2 do not take effect in an already-open session: the\r
-# account has to sign out and back in. Any NEW logon does it - an ssh login into\r
-# this box is one, which is the quick way to check without dropping the desktop.\r
-# The ACE in 3 is machine state rather than token state, so a logon does nothing\r
-# for it. ETW reads these descriptors into a cache, so a REBOOT is what is\r
-# expected to put the change into effect: with the ACE written and readable in\r
-# the descriptor, xperf -on base was still answering "Access is denied" from a\r
-# fresh shell on the running system. So on a first run, plan on both - a new\r
-# logon for 1 and 2, a reboot for 3.\r
