# Group Policy and ActiveX installation
|
||
|
||
ActiveX controls are installed and invoked using the HTML object tag with the CODEBASE attribute. This attribute, through a URL, makes Internet Explorer:
|
||
|
||
- Get the ActiveX control if it's not already installed.
|
||
|
||
- Download the installation package.
|
||
|
||
- Perform trust verification on the object.
|
||
|
||
- Prompt for installation permission, using the IE Information Bar.
|
||
|
||
During installation, the rendering page registers and invokes the control, so that after installation, any standard user can invoke the control.
|
||
|
||
**Important**<br>ActiveX control installation requires administrator-level permissions.
|
||
|
||
## Group Policy for the ActiveX Installer Service
|
||
|
||
You use the ActiveX Installer Service (AXIS) and Group Policy to manage your ActiveX control deployment. The AXIS-related settings can be changed using either the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) or the Local Group Policy Editor, and include:
|
||
|
||
- **Approved Installation Sites for ActiveX Controls.** A list of approved installation sites used by AXIS to determine whether it can install a particular ActiveX control.
|
||
|
||
- **ActiveX installation policy for sites in trusted zones.** Identifies how AXIS should behave when a website tries to install an ActiveX control. First, AXIS looks to see if the site appears in either the list of approved installation sites or in the **Trusted sites** zone. If the does, then AXIS checks to make sure the control meets your company's policy requirements. If the ActiveX control meets all of these requirements, the control is installed.
