Software Restriction Policies are trust policies, which are regulations set by an administrator to restrict scripts that are not fully trusted from performing unauthorized actions within the operating system.

The following three criteria are used by Software Restriction Policies in determining a trust level:

• Any signature information in the script
• The path from which the script is running
• File content

Software Restriction Policies define the following default containers:

• Domain Administrator
• Machine Administrator
• Machine User
• Guest User
• Denied

Additionally, you can define your own custom container and set your own policies.
