The following table describes the UI elements for this dialog box.

Additional considerations
When used to define members of an application group, a script is called a Business rule. When used to define a role or task, a script is called an Authorization rule.
The use of business rules and authorization rules on each client computer is controlled by a registry setting. In this version of Windows, rules are disabled by default. In earlier versions of Windows, they are enabled by default. For more information, see Control Authorization Using Authorization Rules and Business Rules.
In addition, you can also disable rules entirely for an authorization store on the Limits tab of the authorization store properties sheet. For more information, see Understanding Authorization Manager Store Limits
