Python script

[Awwab_Shuaib]

When I opened my project for work, this popped up saying that something in Python scripts is disabled in this file for security reasons, which showed this in red:

Text ‘rig.001_ui.pu’

After this, it said that this may lead to unexpected behavior. Below all of that, it showed two buttons and a check box: Allow Execution, Ignore, and the box to choose to “permanently allow execution of scripts.” What should I do so can’t be worried about this? And it’s all because I am using the Rigify add-on. What is going on? I am wondering if is all of this is because of an update on Rigify.

Please answer these questions in bold and check the one italics to tell me if this right.

It is a generic warning scripts can be malicious.
Rigify triggers it so it is as safe as it is ever likely to be. It comes with Blender so not even some random add on.
There are no guarantees I can give, just it seems everyone just allows it to run and I have never heard of anyone having any problems.
Rigify will not work without it, and all over the web people use it as standard. If there were issues I think it would go round like wildfire.

Python code can access your whole system if it’s developed in that way.
Untrusted code, as in add-ons, can lead to problems.
It is just a warning to make you aware of this, as NP5 explains.
You can trust add-ons provided by Blender, as defaults in the preference panel.
Also if you use a virus scanner, you are also more protected from malicious software.
