Sources

Source Groups control from which terminals (sources) a user can access the system.

CA ACF2 has Source Groups (ESGP) records that are created and assigned to users.
In CA Top Secret, sources are added directly to a user and CIA interprets all the terminals for a user as source groups.

The Sources category lets you view different queries for the CIA SRCREC table:

All Records: Displays all records in the SRCREC table: System ID (SYSID), Record ID (SRCRECID), Source Group (SRCGRP), Source Name/Mask (SRCMASK), Record Type (RECTYPE), Include/Exclude Indicator (INCLEXCL), Source Type (SRCTYPE).
Source Groups: Displays distinct System ID, Source Group, Record Type and Source Type records from the SRCREC table: System ID (SYSID), Source Group (SRCGRP), Record Type (RECTYPE), Source Type (SRCTYPE).
ACF2 ESRC Sources: Displays all records in the SRCREC table for ESRC records (Record Type “E”): Displays System ID (SYSID), Source Group (SRCGRP), and Source Name/Mask (SRCMASK). Use this query to map logical source names (for example, "shipping1") to physical source names (for example, "LV396").

Note: After you select a row of data, more granular information appears in the Details pane at the bottom of the Investigator.
