The RegistryPermission class, which is in the System.Security.Permissions namespace, controls access to registry variables. Registry variables should not be stored in memory locations where code without RegistryPermission can access them. Similarly, when granting permissions, grant the fewest privileges necessary to get the job done.
Registry permission access values are defined by the RegistryPermissionAccess enumeration. The following table details its members.
| Value | Access to Registry Variables |
|---|---|
| AllAccess | Create, read, and write |
| Create | Create |
| NoAccess | No access. |
| Read | Read |
| Write | Write |
