public class NTSidPrimaryGroupPrincipal extends NTSid
This class extends `NTSid` and represents a Windows NT user's primary group SID.

Principals such as this `NTSidPrimaryGroupPrincipal` may be associated with a particular `Subject` to augment that `Subject` with an additional identity. Refer to the `Subject` class for more information on how to achieve this. Authorization decisions can then be based upon the Principals associated with a `Subject`.
