To control application restrictions on newer systems use the settings on the Applications tab. Legacy Application settings support a single list of Unix paths. Applications residing in a path in the list are allowed to execute if you select the User can open only these applications option, or prevented from executing if you select the User can open all applications except these option. The path list functions as a deny list or an allow list, but not both.
