# Interface PrivilegedAction<T>

Functional Interface:
  This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface PrivilegedAction<T>
A computation to be performed with privileges enabled. The computation is performed by invoking `AccessController.doPrivileged` on the `PrivilegedAction` object. This interface is used only for computations that do not throw checked exceptions; computations that throw checked exceptions must use `PrivilegedExceptionAction` instead.

Since:
  1.2

## Method Details

### run

T run()
Performs the computation. This method will be called by `AccessController.doPrivileged` after enabling privileges.

Returns:
  a class-dependent value that may represent the results of the computation. Each class that implements `PrivilegedAction` should document what (if anything) this value represents.
