permission

This element is used to define the permissions required to access a type or member.

Syntax

This top-level element is valid on all types and type members.

 
<permission cref="permissionTypeOrMember">description</permission>

The cref attribute is used to specify a permission type required to access the type or member. It is typically one of the .NET permission set types such as PermissionSet or SecurityPermission. Use the inner text to describe how the permission applies to the type or member.
