SectionInformation.RequirePermission Property
Assembly: System.Configuration (in system.configuration.dll)
/** @property */ public boolean get_RequirePermission () /** @property */ public void set_RequirePermission (boolean value)
public function get RequirePermission () : boolean public function set RequirePermission (value : boolean)
Property Value
true if the requirePermission attribute is set to true; otherwise, false. The default is true.When RequirePermission is set to true, the GetSection() methods are restricted by the trust level setting of the application. This means that methods or properties which allow access to configuration section handlers are restricted by the trust level set on the Web application.
 Note |
|---|
| Since high and full trust are the only levels which allow access to files outside of the current app domain, an application can only use configuration section handlers at these trust levels. |
When RequirePermission is set to false, the access to the configuration data is not restricted by the application's trust level settings.
| Note |
|---|
| The appropriate file ACL (Access Control List) permissions are still required regardless of the RequirePermission setting.

The following example shows two possible trust levels for a Web application when the RequirePermission of the appSettings section is true. When the trust level is set to full the two lines of code shown next work otherwise they fail.
<system.web>
// With the following trust value
// the code below works.
<trust level="Full" />
</system.web>
<system.web>
// With the following trust value
// the code below does not work
<trust level="Medium" />
</system.web>
