The SID is a unique name (alphanumeric character string) that is used to identify an object, such as a user or a group of users in a networkof NT/2000 systems. Windows grants or denies access and privileges to resources based on ACLs, which use SIDs to uniquely identify users and their group memberships.

SIDs are created when the account is first created in Windows and no two SIDs on a computer are ever the same.
Users (you and me) refer to accounts by the account's name, like "Tim" or "Dad", but Windows uses the SID when dealing with accounts internally.
The term security ID is sometimes used in place of SID or security identifier.
