PrincipalPermissionAttribute Class

Definition

Caution

Code Access Security is not supported or honored by the runtime.

Allows security actions for PrincipalPermission to be applied to code using declarative security. This class cannot be inherited.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how the PrincipalPermissionAttribute class is used declaratively to demand that the current user be an administrator.

Note

In Windows Vista, User Account Control (UAC) determines the privileges of a user. If you are a member of the Built-in Administrators group, you are assigned two run-time access tokens: a standard user access token and an administrator access token. By default, you are in the standard user role. To execute the code that requires you to be an administrator, you must first elevate your privileges from standard user to administrator. You can do this when you start an application by right-clicking the application icon and indicating that you want to run as an administrator.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security;
using namespace System::Security::Permissions;
using namespace System::Security::Policy;
using namespace System::Security::Principal;

[PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction::Demand, Role = "Administrators")]
void CheckAdministrator()
{
    Console::WriteLine("User is an administrator.");
}
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
    try
    {
        // Must set PrincipalPolicy to WindowsPrincipal
        AppDomain::CurrentDomain->SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy::WindowsPrincipal);
        // Check using declarative security.
        CheckAdministrator();
        // Check using Imperative security.
        System::String^ null;
        PrincipalPermission^ principalPerm = gcnew PrincipalPermission(null, "Administrators" );
        principalPerm->Demand();
        Console::WriteLine("Demand succeeded");
    }
    catch (Exception ^e)
    {
        Console::WriteLine(e->Message);
    }
    return 0;
}
using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using System.Security.Principal;

class SecurityPrincipalDemo
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            // PrincipalPolicy must be set to WindowsPrincipal to check roles.
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal);
            // Check using the PrincipalPermissionAttribute
            CheckAdministrator();
            // Check using PrincipalPermission class.
            PrincipalPermission principalPerm = new PrincipalPermission(null, "Administrators");
            principalPerm.Demand();
            Console.WriteLine("Demand succeeded.");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }
    [PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Role = "Administrators")]
    static void CheckAdministrator()

            ' Check using the PrincipalPermissionAttribute
            CheckAdministrator()
            ' Check using PrincipalPermission class.

Remarks

Caution

Code Access Security (CAS) has been deprecated across all versions of .NET Framework and .NET. Recent versions of .NET do not honor CAS annotations and produce errors if CAS-related APIs are used. Developers should seek alternative means of accomplishing security tasks.

PrincipalPermissionAttribute can be used to declaratively demand that users running your code belong to a specified role or have been authenticated. Use of Unrestricted creates a PrincipalPermission with Authenticated set to true and Name and Role set to null.

The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction that is used. PrincipalPermissionAttribute cannot be applied at the assembly level.

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.

Important

Before you use this class to demand principal permission, you must set the current application domain's principal policy to the enumeration value WindowsPrincipal. By default, the principal policy is set to UnauthenticatedPrincipal. If you do not set the principal policy to WindowsPrincipal, a demand for principal permission will fail. The following code should be executed before the principal permission is demanded: AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal).

Role

Gets or sets membership in a specified security role.

TypeId

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

(Inherited from Attribute)
Unrestricted

Gets or sets a value indicating whether full (unrestricted) permission to the resource protected by the attribute is declared.

(Inherited from SecurityAttribute)

Methods

(Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this instance.

(Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
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)
