Add Security Profiles

Creating a security profile means mapping a new one to either a user account or group provided by the current security providers. You can select the users or groups who can access the system and add them to a security profile.

To add security profiles

1. Select Security Profiles from the Security menu.

   The Security Profiles dialog appears.

   Note: You must have the access rights to open this dialog; otherwise, a security error message is displayed. Administrators (on Windows) and root (on UNIX) have these access rights by default.

2. Click Add.

   The Add Security Profiles dialog appears.

3. Select the security authority from the Available Directories tree, browse and click the required security principal.

   You can view the selected security authority and principal in the Container Identifier and Names fields, respectively.

4. Double-click a principal in the tree, or click Add to List.

   The security principals shown in the Names field are added to the List of security profiles.

   To add more profiles, repeat the last two steps on the Add Security Profiles dialog.

5. Click OK.

   The selected user account or group is mapped to the security profile and the Class Permissions dialog is displayed.

   Note: If you have added more than one security principal, the Class Permissions dialog is not displayed. You must select the profile in the Security Profiles dialog, and click Class Permissions.

6. In the Class Permissions dialog, select the object class to which you want to assign the rights.

   Note: You can select multiple object classes and specify the class permissions for all of them. For continuous selection, press the Shift key and then click the objects; for random selection, press the Ctrl key and then click the objects.

7. Select the permission in the Class access drop-down list, and click OK.

   The given permissions are assigned to the new security profile.
