Code Access Security in SharePoint

Code access security is a mechanism to limit the access of the code to protect the resources and operations. In SharePoint you can have the two level i.e “WSS_Medium” and “WSS_Minimal”.

    1: <securityPolicy>
    2:      <trustLevel name="WSS_Medium" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_mediumtrust.config" />
    3:      <trustLevel name="WSS_Minimal" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_minimaltrust.config" />
    4:    </securityPolicy>

By default in SharePoint, you have the “WSS_Minimal”, in web.config file.

    1: <trust level="WSS_Minimal" originUrl="" />

If don’t want to provide your assembly “Full” trust because it will get the full access to your resources.

1) Check the required permission using Permission Calculator Tool (Permcalc.exe)

2) Design the custom policy file [Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and Code Access Security].SharePoint has provided two security permission class :-

    1) Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.SharePointPermission

     2) Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.WebPartPermission

3) Copied at “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\CONFIG\wss_custom_wss_minimaltrust.config”.

Here is the glimpse of type of permission which may help to design the file:-

<IPermissionclass="EnvironmentPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="FileDialogPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="FileIOPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="IsolatedStorageFilePermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="ReflectionPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="RegistryPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="SecurityPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="UIPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="KeyContainerPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="DnsPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="PrintingPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="SocketPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="WebPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="EventLogPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="StorePermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="PerformanceCounterPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="OleDbPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="SqlClientPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="DataProtectionPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="true"/>

<IPermissionclass="AspNetHostingPermission"version="1"Level="Medium" />

<IPermissionclass="DnsPermission"version="1"Unrestricted="True" />

<IPermissionclass="WebPartPermission"version="1"Connections="True"Unrestricted="True" />

<IPermissionclass="SharePointPermission"version="1"ObjectModel="True"Unrestricted="True" />

And articles:-

1) How to demand permissions by using Code Access Security

2) ASP.NET Code Access Security

4) You have to modify you web.config file and its looks like this:-

    1: <securityPolicy>
    2:       <trustLevel name="WSS_Medium" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_mediumtrust.config" />
    3:       <trustLevel name="WSS_Minimal" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_minimaltrust.config" />
    4:       <trustLevel name="WSS_Custom" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_custom_wss_minimaltrust.config" />
    5:     </securityPolicy>

5) Modify the trust’s level attribute with you custom trust level name.

    1: <trust level="WSS_Custom" originUrl="" />

    What total Ipermission classes equate to a FullTrust permission? I tried using your total list and set all to unrestricted but the feature that was deployed still receives a "Request Failed" error. The Feature is attempting to import a CSV file into SP. I've tried using PermCalc and added those classes but still no luck.  If I set to fulltrust it works.
