About Flash Player security configurations on corporate networks

Corporate and enterprise system administrators can configure Flash to restrict access by the Flash Player to resources in the local file system. You can create a security configuration file that limits Flash Player functionality on the local system.

The security configuration file is a text file placed in the same folder as the Flash Player installer. The Flash Player installer reads the configuration file during installation and follows its security directives. The Flash Player exposes the configuration file to ActionScript using the System object.

With the configuration file, you can disable access by the Flash Player to the camera or microphone, limit the amount of local storage the Flash Player can use, control the auto-update feature, and block the Player from reading anything from the user's local hard disk.
