We briefly touched on script trust in the JavaScript example previously, so we'll now cover this in a little more detail.
If you load a Spotfire file that contains scripts that you have not previously trusted, then a warning will be shown, as we saw previously. You must then go and review the scripts and trust them in order to use them in your analysis. You can trust all the IronPython scripts and then all the JavaScript scripts in turn. However, I would strongly recommend that you review the scripts before you trust them implicitly.
The script trust mechanism is designed to protect you from harmful scripts that could, for example, reveal personal information, or compromise your organization's security in some way. IronPython scripts can be particularly dangerous as any IronPython script running on your machine has full access to it via the .NET framework...
