Security<br />

There are also Flash Player Trust directories for individual users (see “User controls” on page 1039).<br />

User controls<br />

Flash Player 9 and later<br />

Flash Player provides three differ<strong>en</strong>t user-level mechanisms for setting permissions: the Settings UI and Settings<br />

Manager, and the User Flash Player Trust directory.<br />

The Settings UI and Settings Manager<br />

Flash Player 9 and later<br />

The Settings UI is a quick, interactive mechanism for configuring the settings for a specific domain. The Settings<br />

Manager pres<strong>en</strong>ts a more detailed interface and provides the ability to make global changes that affect permissions for<br />

many or all domains. Additionally, wh<strong>en</strong> a new permission is requested by a SWF file, requiring run-time decisions<br />

concerning security or privacy, dialog boxes are displayed in which users can adjust some Flash Player settings.<br />

The Settings Manager and Settings UI provide security-related options such as camera and microphone settings,<br />

shared object storage settings, settings related to legacy cont<strong>en</strong>t, and so on. Neither the Settings Manager nor the<br />

Settings UI are available to AIR applications.<br />

Note: Any settings made in the mms.cfg file (see “Administrator controls” on page 1037) are not reflected in the Settings<br />

Manager.<br />

For details on the Settings Manager, see www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager.<br />

The User Flash Player Trust directory<br />

Flash Player 9 and later, Adobe AIR 1.0 and later<br />

Users and installer applications can register specified local SWF files as trusted. These SWF files are assigned to the<br />

local-trusted sandbox. They can interact with any other SWF files, and they can load data from anywhere, remote or<br />

local. A user designates a file as trusted in the User Flash Player Trust directory, which is in same directory as the shared<br />

object storage area, in the following locations (locations are specific to the curr<strong>en</strong>t user):<br />

Windows: app data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust<br />

(for example, C:\Docum<strong>en</strong>ts and Settings\JohnD\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash<br />

Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust on Windows XP or C:\Users\JohnD\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash<br />

Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust on Windows Vista)<br />

In Windows, the Application Data folder is hidd<strong>en</strong> by default. To show hidd<strong>en</strong> folders and files, select My<br />

Computer to op<strong>en</strong> Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options and th<strong>en</strong> select the View tab. Under the View<br />

tab, select the Show hidd<strong>en</strong> files and folders radio button.<br />

Mac: app data/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust<br />

(for example, /Users/JohnD/Library/Prefer<strong>en</strong>ces/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust)<br />

These settings affect only the curr<strong>en</strong>t user, not other users who log in to the computer. If a user without<br />

administrative rights installs an application in their own portion of the system, the User Flash Player Trust<br />

directory lets the installer register the application as trusted for that user.<br />
