SecurityPermission

Synopsis

This class is a Permission subclass that represents access to various methods of the Policy, Security, Provider, Signer, and Identity objects. SecurityPermission objects are defined by a name only; they do not use a list of actions. Important SecurityPermission names are “getPolicy” and “setPolicy”, which represent the ability query and set the system security policy by invoking the Policy.getPolicy( ) and Policy.setPolicy( ) methods. Applications do not typically need to use this class.
