Public Shared Function PolicyHierarchy () As IEnumerator

Returns

IEnumerator

An enumerator for PolicyLevel objects that compose the security policy hierarchy.

Attributes: ObsoleteAttribute

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

This method uses code access security (CAS) policy, which is obsolete in the .NET Framework 4. To enable CAS policy for compatibility with earlier versions of the .NET Framework, use the <legacyCasPolicy> element.

SecurityException

The code that calls this method does not have ControlPolicy.

Remarks

The returned enumerator provides successive PolicyLevel objects that represent the policy at the respective (machine, user, enterprise, application domain) level of the hierarchy. These objects are the live policy objects; altering these objects can have unpredictable results.

Minimum policy hierarchy consists of a machine level, an enterprise level, and a user level. However, the hierarchy can include additional levels.
