## Discussion

If the `name` field is set to the value represented by the constant [`kAuthorizationRightExecute`](/documentation/Security/kAuthorizationRightExecute), then set the `value` field to the full POSIX pathname of the tool you want to execute. In most other cases, set this field to `NULL`.
