The DSM Explorer › Common Security › Class Permissions › Class Permissions Dialog

Class Permissions Dialog

The Class Permissions dialog displays the classes and their respective access types for the selected security profile. Use this dialog to specify the access permissions for a security profile. When you add a security profile, this dialog appears automatically.

Note: Class permissions are applicable to all objects in the class.

Note: In the order of precedence, object permissions precede over group permissions, which precede over class permissions. That means setting class permissions do not replace individually specified object and group members permissions.

This dialog contains the following fields:

Security Profile

Displays the name of the selected security profile.

Select a category of Security Object Classes to display

Shows the categories of classes. Default is All. Select a category from the drop-down list to view the classes in that category.

List of Security Object Classes

Displays the classes based on the selected category.

Check Box

Specifies whether the changes must be saved. When you change the access type, this check box gets selected automatically. To restore the previous value, clear the check box.

Note: Do not manually select this check box. This does not change the access permissions.

Object Class

Displays the object class name. This field is sorted alphabetically.

Owner

Displays the name of the user who has ownership of the object class. When the system is the owner, the ownership appears as Unassigned.

Class Permissions

Displays the existing access permissions.

Take Ownership

Assigns the ownership of the selected object classes to the currently logged-in user.

Important! This action is irreversible even if you cancel the dialog.

Class access

Lets you change the class permission for the selected object classes. This drop-down list gets activated only when you click an object class. Selecting Special access from this drop-down list opens the Special Access dialog.

Note: If your selection in the Special Access dialog corresponds to one of the predefined values (for example View and Read), you can see the predefined value set as the Class Access. Otherwise, you see Special Access (without dots) as the selected value. To access the original Special Access dialog again, select Special Access (with dots).
