Launch and Activation permissions are used "who is allowed to launch applications or activate objects" and to "set limits on applications that determine their own permissions." Usually, these permissions are viewed and edited by opening dcomcnfg, right-clicking My Computer under Component Services > Computers, choosing Properties, going to the COM Security tab, and clicking `Edit Default...` or `Edit Limits...` buttons under the **Access Permissions** or **Launch and Activation Permissions** sections. This function does all that, but does it much easier, and returns objects you can work with. These permissions are stored in the registry, under `HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole`. The default security registry value for Access Permissions is missing/empty until custom permissions are granted. If this is the case, this function will return objects that represent the default security, which was lovingly reverse engineered by gnomes. Returns `Carbon.Security.ComAccessRule` objects, which inherit from `[System.Security.AccessControl.AccessRule](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.accesscontrol.accessrule.aspx). .LINK Grant-ComPermission .LINK Revoke-ComPermission .OUTPUTS Carbon.Security.ComAccessRule. .EXAMPLE Get-ComPermission -Access -Default Gets the COM access default security permissions.
