This class represents objects that are used to identify permission types. The members of this class are constants that represent and identify standard system permissions.

Since there is no public constructor for this class, PermissionID objects cannot be directly created. Instead, they can be retrieved using the PolicyEngine.permissionNameToID method.

Some security APIs allow you to pass the name of the permission instead of a PermissionID object. However, the APIs that take a PermissionID object are usually faster than the variations that take permission names. This is because the APIs that take a permission name must first look up the name to map it to the corresponding PermissionID object.

Methods

toString

public String toString();

Converts the permission identifier to its string representation.

Return Value:

Returns the string representation of the permission identifier.

Fields
