Configure Tags in CA Access Control Enterprise Management

CA Access Control Enterprise Management maps managed devices, for example, folders, datacenters and resource pools, to host groups. Assigning tags to security groups simplifies management of the assets in your virtualized environment. You can easily perform administrative scoping based on the tags you assign.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to World View, Tags, Create Tag.

   The Create Tag: Tag Search window opens.

2. (Optional) Select an existing tag to create the tag as a copy of it, as follows:
   1. Select Create a copy of a new object of type Tag.
   2. Select an attribute for the search, type in the filter value, and click Search.

      A list of tags that match the filter criteria appears.

   3. Select the object you want to use as a basis for the new tag.
3. Click OK.

   The Create Tag window appears.

4. Type in the name of the tag.
5. Click Submit.

   CA Access Control Enterprise Management creates the tag. You can now assign the tags to the managed devices or create a tag rule.
