The
SWbemSecurity object gets or sets security settings, such as privileges, COM impersonations, and authentication levels assigned to an object. The
SWbemLocator,
SWbemServices,
SWbemObject,
SWbemObjectSet,
SWbemObjectPath,
SWbemLastError, and
SWbemEventSource objects have a Security_ property, which is the
SWbemSecurity object. When you retrieve an instance or view the WMI security log, you might need to set the properties of the
Security_ object.
The VBScript CreateObject call cannot create the Security object. The security settings in this object do not identify the authentication, impersonation, or privilege settings on a connection to WMI, or the security in effect for the proxy when an object is delivered to a sink in an asynchronous call. For more information, see Maintaining WMI Security.
Methods
The SWbemSecurity object does not define any methods.
Properties
