Abstract
A system and method that allows developers to debug a component while it is restricted by any arbitrary set of specific permissions, or restricted by an existing permission set associated with a security “zone.” A security sandbox is mimicked within the development environment so that developers can study how applications perform inside the sandbox. Developers are able create any sandbox and debug inside it, where violating any bound of the artificial sandbox will throw a security exception and drop the user out on the exact line of code which generated the error, as well as provide helpful information about how to correct the error.
