Summary

COM+ can be a complicated beast, and with the onset of .NET, some changes are bound to crop up in the future. In this chapter, you learned how permissions play a vital role in the COM+ design. Not only do you have the capability to apply permissions to a whole component, but also you can take it down to the method level, if you need that type of granularity.

Another great feature is role-based security. This gives you the capability to group users by functionality and then administer which users should be in which roles.
