ActionRuleCollection Represents a collection of the ActionRule objects.
ComPlusRole Provides a role implementation that represents a role in the COM+ catalog.
DynamicRole Provides a role implementation whose membership can be controlled programmatically by setting the IsMemberResult property.
NamedObjectBase This is the common base class for all the classes that form the definition of an authorization model.
NamedObjectCollectionBase Provides a base class for all concrete collection classes for descendants of the NamedObjectBase class.
ObjectBase This is the base class for all classes comprising the AuthorizationPolicy state-based authorization model.
ObjectCollectionBase Represents a collection NamedObjectBase-derived objects.
Property Defines an Property that is part of an AuthorizationPolicy.
PropertyCollection Represents a collection of Property objects.
PropertyRule Defines the association of a property with a state, set of Roles that can access the property and the accessibility flags: IsVisible and IsEnabled.
