I'm trying to run JUnit tests using IntelliJ Idea 11.1. But the tests are giving different AccessControlExceptions. One of them are below. But these tests run without a problem in Eclipse.

Exception in thread "main" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission setIO)
    at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:374)
    at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:546)

Do I need to set special permissions of some kind for the IDEA test runner? If so how?

As I wasn't to keen to just grant all permissions on the JVM I've updated Mark Rotteveel solution to also allow debugging in IntelliJ. It just needed 3 additional permissions:

permission java.util.PropertyPermission "idea.launcher.bin.path", "read";
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.C:\\Program Files\\JetBrains\\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2019.2\\bin\\breakgen64.dll";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "idea.launcher.port", "read";
    permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "idea.is.junit5", "read";
    permission java.net.SocketPermission "127.0.0.1:*", "connect,resolve";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.home", "read";
    permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\\Users\\David\\junit.properties", "read";
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "setIO";
    permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\\Users\\David\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\*", "read";
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessDeclaredMembers";

    // Additional properties needed to allow debugging in IntelliJ
    permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\\Program Files\\JetBrains\\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2019.2\\bin\\breakgen64.dll", "read";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "intellij.debug.agent", "read";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "intellij.debug.agent", "write";
