The ICAManager interface is supported by the Conditional Access (CA) Manager. The CA Manager acts as a mediator between requests, which are attempts by the user to access a service, and policies, which impose conditions for accessing a service.
The CA Manager is a required feature segment for the video control. For each instance of the video control, there is a corresponding instance of the CA Manager.
The CA Manager maintains a list of policies. When the CA Manager receives a request, it passes the request to each policy. Any of the policies can deny access to the request.
In addition to the methods inherited from IDispatch, the ICAManager interface exposes the following methods.
| Method | Description |
| get_ActiveRequest | Retrieves the request that is currently active. |
| get_DenialsFor | Retrieves an object's denials collection. |
| get_Offers | Retrieves the available offers. |
| get_PaidTolls | Retrieves the set of tolls that the user has paid. |
| get_Policies | Retrieves the policies associated with this CA Manager. |
| get_UseDefaultUI | Determines whether the CA Manager will use the default user interface (UI) to resolve denials. |
| put_UseDefaultUI | Specifies whether the CA Manager will use the default user interface (UI) to resolve denials. |
