PowerShell – Set Execution Policy Permissions

ByDavid Kittell
|

In order for PowerShell to run scripts you need to grant it specific permissions.

  • Restricted
    • No scripts can be run. Windows PowerShell can be used only in interactive mode.
  • AllSigned
    • Only scripts signed by a trusted publisher can be run.
  • RemoteSigned
    • Downloaded scripts must be signed by a trusted publisher before they can be run.
  • Unrestricted
    • No restrictions; all Windows PowerShell scripts can be run.
