Python security

In contrast to FPScript, Python can be used to write programs that manipulate files and the operating system, provided your user permissions allow it. FlexPro therefore displays a security warning when you open a project database for which Python is activated. The security warning does not appear if on the File > Project Database Properties > Python tab you deactivate the Use Python option.

Click on Disable Python if you cannot rule out the possibility that the project database contains malicious Python code. The project database is then opened with Python deactivated. All Python formulas contained in it are locked and you cannot create any new Python formulas. If the result of a locked Python formula is accessed, the last calculated result is used if this is saved in the project database.

Note   Your system administrator can disable the Python security warning in the Windows registry. To do this, a DWORD key Software\Weisang\FlexPro\14\Python\SecurityLevel with the value 0 must be created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
