ERROR_DUPLICATE_PRIVILEGES

The privilege list contains duplicates

ERROR_DUPLICATE_PRIVILEGES occurs when a security-token request contains repeated privilege identifiers where each privilege must appear only once. It usually reflects incorrect list construction rather than insufficient permissions.

Checks

  • Normalize privilege LUIDs before building the request buffer.
  • Remove duplicates introduced by merging configuration sources.
  • Verify the element count and buffer size passed to the token API.
  • Log privilege names after lookup to expose aliases or repeated entries.

Fix

Deduplicate the privilege set while preserving the intended attributes for each entry, then retry the token operation with a structurally valid list.
