How to: Set custom permissions for a ClickOnce application

Applies to: Visual Studio Visual Studio for Mac

You can deploy a ClickOnce application that uses default permissions for the Internet or Local Intranet zones. Alternatively, you can create a custom zone for the specific permissions that the application needs. You can do this by customizing the security permissions on the Security page of the Project Designer.

To customize a permission

1. With a project selected in Solution Explorer, on the Project menu, click Properties.

2. Click the Security tab.

3. Select the Enable ClickOnce Security Settings check box.

4. Select the This is a partial trust application option button.

   The controls in the ClickOnce security permissions section are enabled.

5. From the Zone your application will be installed from drop-down list, click (Custom).

6. Click Edit Permissions XML.

   The app.manifest file opens in the XML Editor.

7. Before the </applicationRequestMinimum> element, add XML code for permissions that your application requires.

   Note

   You can use the ToXml method of a permission set to generate the XML code for the application manifest. For example, to generate the XML for the EnvironmentPermission permission set, call the ToXml method.
