GacIdentityPermissionAttribute Class

Definition

Caution

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

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

[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Assembly | System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Constructor | System.AttributeTargets.Method | System.AttributeTargets.Struct, AllowMultiple=true, Inherited=false)]

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.

This class is used to ensure that callers are registered in the global assembly cache (GAC).

The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction value that is used.

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, GacIdentityPermission.

Important

Starting with .NET Framework 4, identity permissions aren't used.

Demands for identity permissions are ineffective if the calling assembly has full trust. This assures consistency for all permissions, eliminating the treatment of identity permissions as a special case.
