Description

Use the global securityPermissions property to lock down certain access functionality in situations where security is required, for example, for a kiosk application or web server.

• disk - accessing files
• network - using sockets and url commands
• process - running external processes such as shell and open process
• registryRead - reading from the system registry (windows only)
• registryWrite - writing to the system registry (windows only)
• printing - access to the system printer
• privacy - taking snapshots of the screen and recording sounds
• applescript - receiving apple events
• doalternate - use of the 'do ... as ...' alternate language

    execution feature
  * external - loading externals 
  * extension - loading extensions from file or data. Extensions included when
  building a standalone are not restricted.

Once securityPermissions is set, the security permissions can only be reduced and not increased.
