# AEAssessmentBinaryExecutable

A non-bundled, non-UI executable (e.g. a launchd daemon) designated as an assessment participant by its on-disk path.

## Declaration

```swift
class AEAssessmentBinaryExecutable
```

## Overview

Overview Use this for a participant that has no bundle identifier and so cannot be expressed as an AEAssessmentApplication. It feeds only the app-launch allowlist under allowsOnlyParticipantsToRun and, when its configuration permits, network access; UI policies do not apply. Matching is by exact on-disk path. At runtime the executable must also satisfy requiresSignatureValidation (and the team identifier, if set), so a swapped or re-signed binary is not silently trusted. With requiresSignatureValidation enabled (the default), an unsigned or invalidly signed binary is treated as unavailable: a participant that isn’t isRequired is dropped from enforcement, while a required one prevents the assessment session from beginning. note: allowsOnlyParticipantsToRun for why the launch allowlist requires a signature, and AEAssessmentApplication for bundled participants.
