Public Fields

Assert	The calling code can access the resource identified by the current permission object, even if callers higher in the stack have not been granted permission to access the resource (see the conceptual topic at MSDN: assert).
Demand	All callers higher in the call stack are required to have been granted the permission specified by the current permission object (see the conceptual topic at MSDN: makingsecuritydemands).
Deny	The ability to access the resource specified by the current permission object is denied to callers, even if they have been granted permission to access it (see the conceptual topic at MSDN: deny).
InheritanceDemand	The derived class inheriting the class or overriding a method is required to have been granted the specified permission.
LinkDemand	The immediate caller is required to have been granted the specified permission.
PermitOnly	Only the resources specified by this permission object can be accessed, even if the code has been granted permission to access other resources (see the conceptual topic at MSDN: permitonly).
RequestMinimum	The request for the minimum permissions required for code to run. This action can only be used within the scope of the assembly.
RequestOptional	The request for additional permissions that are optional (not required to run). This action can only be used within the scope of the assembly.
RequestRefuse	The request that permissions that might be misused will not be granted to the calling code. This action can only be used within the scope of the assembly.
