These can be run under policy files that precisely restrict their ability to access resources according to needds.
This can result in an application being anything from fully sandboxed to fully unrestricted, being able to only read files in it's own directory, not being able to make network connections etc.

Most other executables seem to be controlled around execute / can't execute model, which is not that helpful.
