Policy Primitives
The following definitions are important for a complete understanding of
policies:
- A policy is a permission or attribute for a particular item, action, or
object. It is either enabled or disabled.
- A part is a subcomponent of a policy. A policy may have zero or more parts.
Policy parts may have various data types, including Boolean values, numeric
values, and string values. The values of the parts apply only if the policy is
enabled.
- A category is a collection of similar policies.
Some policies do not need any parts. For instance, "Lock Desktop Links" could
be a policy. For such a policy, it would be sufficient to say that it was
either enabled or disabled. If it were enabled, the user could not modify his or her
desktop links in any way. "Desktop Links" could be another policy, and it
could have the Boolean parts "Create Links," "Delete Links," and "Modify Links." As
another example, "Password Expiration" could be a policy, and "Number of days"
(a numeric value) could be its part.
Policies and parts are analogous to a group of controls in a dialog box that
are all enabled by a single check box. The check box, which corresponds to
whether or not the policy is enabled, "turns on" the controls in the dialog box (the
policy parts) and allows data to be entered into the controls. A policy with
no parts (that is, no associated controls) is analogous to a single check box.
The following types of policies can be specified:
- A user-specific policy can be specified for each user or group. A default set
of policies can be specified for users or groups who do not have sets of
policies defined for them explicitly. Most policies are user-specific. User-specific
policies are always merged into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key of the registry.
- A machine-specific policy should not change according to user. A
machine-specific policy applies to all users. It does not follow users as they move between
different computers. Machine-specific policies are always merged into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key of the registry.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
