Integrate this Python logic into your studio's custom Maya launcher. This script intercepts the launch sequence, hashes the target local or environment script directories, and validates them against the manifest.
If you are seeing a "Secure userSetup Checksum verification" warning, you can manage how Maya handles these scripts through the preferences menu:
[ ] Dedicated Maya user account (non-admin) [ ] MFA enabled for login [ ] Least privilege filesystem ACLs [ ] Reference checksums generated (SHA256) [ ] Checksums stored signed & read-only [ ] Login wrapper script enforces verification [ ] Weekly automated integrity scan [ ] Incident response for mismatch maya secure user setup checksum verification
