Enum

`SecurityCapability`

Identifies a specific permission capability that a sandboxed script container may grant or restrict.

SecurityCapability is a bitmask-based permission system that controls which engine APIs and Luau language features are accessible to scripts running inside sandboxed containers. Each value represents one capability bit that can be granted or restricted.

When an Instance has its Sandboxed property enabled, the engine intersects the capabilities of all ancestor containers to determine the effective permission set of any script that executes within that container. API members, classes, and Luau built-ins are each annotated with one or more SecurityCapability values; a script's thread must hold every required capability to call them.
