SecurityPermissionFlag Enumeration

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Specifies access flags for the security permission object.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace: System.Security.Permissions
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

C++

[<SerializableAttribute>]
[<FlagsAttribute>]
[<ComVisibleAttribute(true)>]
type SecurityPermissionFlag

Members

	Member name	Description
	NoFlags	No security access.
	Assertion	Ability to assert that all this code's callers have the requisite permission for the operation.
	UnmanagedCode	Ability to call unmanaged code. Since unmanaged code potentially allows other permissions to be bypassed, this is a dangerous permission that should only be granted to highly trusted code. It is used for such applications as calling native code using PInvoke or using COM interop.
	SkipVerification	Ability to skip verification of code in this assembly. Code that is unverifiable can be run if this permission is granted. This is a powerful permission that should be granted only to highly trusted code. This flag has no effect when used dynamically with stack modifiers such as Deny, Assert, and PermitOnly.
	Execution	Permission for the code to run. Without this permission, managed code will not be executed. This flag has no effect when used dynamically with stack modifiers such as Deny, Assert, and PermitOnly.
	ControlThread	Ability to use certain advanced operations on threads.
	ControlEvidence	Ability to provide evidence, including the ability to alter the evidence provided by the common language runtime. This is a powerful permission that should only be granted to highly trusted code.
	ControlPolicy	Ability to view and modify policy. This is a powerful permission that should only be granted to highly trusted code.
	SerializationFormatter	Ability to provide serialization services. Used by serialization formatters.
	ControlDomainPolicy	Ability to specify domain policy.
	ControlPrincipal	Ability to manipulate the principal object.
	ControlAppDomain	Ability to create and manipulate an AppDomain.
	RemotingConfiguration	Permission to configure Remoting types and channels.
	Infrastructure	Permission to plug code into the common language runtime infrastructure, such as adding Remoting Context Sinks, Envoy Sinks and Dynamic Sinks.
	BindingRedirects	Permission to perform explicit binding redirection in the application configuration file. This includes redirection of .NET Framework assemblies that have been unified as well as other assemblies found outside the .NET Framework.
	AllFlags	The unrestricted state of the permission.

Remarks

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

This enumeration is used by SecurityPermission.

Caution
Many of these flags are powerful and should only be granted to highly trusted code.

Examples
