| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction) | Initializes a new instance of the PermissionSetAttribute class with the specified security action. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Action | Gets or sets a security action.(Inherited from SecurityAttribute.) |
![]() | File | Gets or sets a file containing the XML representation of a custom permission set to be declared. |
![]() | Hex | Gets or sets the hexadecimal representation of the XML encoded permission set. |
![]() | Name | Gets or sets the name of the permission set. |
![]() | TypeId | |
![]() | UnicodeEncoded | Gets or sets a value indicating whether the file specified by File is Unicode or ASCII encoded. |
![]() | Unrestricted | Gets or sets a value indicating whether full (unrestricted) permission to the resource protected by the attribute is declared.(Inherited from SecurityAttribute.) |
![]() | XML | Gets or sets the XML representation of a permission set. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CreatePermission() | This method is not used.(Overrides SecurityAttribute.CreatePermission().) |
![]() | CreatePermissionSet() | Creates and returns a new permission set based on this permission set attribute object. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Returns the hash code for this instance.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | IsDefaultAttribute() | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | Match(Object) | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32) | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr) | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
The PermissionSetAttribute properties Name, File, and XML are mutually exclusive, meaning that a permission set can have as its source only one of the following: a named permission set, a file containing an XML representation of a permission set, or a string containing an XML representation of a permission set.
The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction that is used. A SecurityAction performed on a PermissionSet is the equivalent of performing that action on each of the permissions within the set.
The security information declared by a security attribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target and is accessed by the system at run time. Security attributes are used only for declarative security. For imperative security, use the corresponding permission class.
