Create an Event-Based Policy Statement

Use this procedure to create an event-based policy statement. This policy statement monitors the payroll data set and triggers an alert notification if the employee in question tries to gain access.

Follow these steps:

1. Add the Quick Links module to a dashboard and click Administer Compliance Policy.
2. Click the applicable Compliance Policy Administration interface instance from the Administration pane.

   The tree expands to show Compliance Policy Administration interface folders.

3. Click Policy Administration, Policy Statement, Create a Policy Statement.
4. Select Event-Based from the Type drop-down list, click Select, and type a policy statement description.
5. Select Object Access Violation in the events section. This event records violations that occur to a specific object.

   The event appears in the Selected Events portion of the window.

6. Create the following test conditions to identify the employee and payroll data set:
   • Select USERID from the field drop-down list. Select equal sign from the Operator field. Type the user ID in the Value field, and click Add Test Condition.
   • Select CLASS from the field drop-down list. Select equal sign from the Operator field. Type DATASET in the Value field, and click Add Test Condition.
   • Select ENTITY from the field drop-down list, equal sign from the Operator field, type PAYROLL.DSN in the Value field, and click Add Test Condition.
7. Select Chorus Alert under Actions section and click New under Attach Chorus Alert Action. An action can be an email, WTO (write-to-operator), service desk ticket, or a Chorus Alert.

   If the specified user tries to gain access to the payroll data set, an alert is issued to the Alerts module. The Alerts module lets you monitor and investigate alerts as they are generated. This module contains alerts that are based on the Alerts module configuration.

8. Type the description of the alert and select the severity from the drop-down list in the Description field. Click Save Chorus Alert.
9. Click Create Policy Statement.

   The policy statement is now available for use with a policy set.
