# Interface PrivilegedAction<T>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of the result of running the computation

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.

- ## 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.
