Remarks

The RegistryCodeGroupEntry class is used to define a security policy that is based on the presence of a specific registry key. When code is executed, the .NET security system checks for the existence of the specified registry key. If the key is found, the permissions associated with this code group are granted to the code.

This class is useful for scenarios where you need to grant specific permissions to applications that are installed in certain locations or that have specific registry settings.

Key properties to consider when using RegistryCodeGroupEntry:

IdentityReference: Specifies the identity of the code group.
AttributeDecimal or AttributeString: Defines the registry value to check.
RegistryKeyAccess: Specifies the type of access required to the registry key.
