Access Modes

The access policies of Security Management support several types of authority, or access modes. Think of access modes as ways a user may try to access an asset. An access policy can specify one, several, or all of the applicable access modes for an asset. At least one access mode must be specified.

These access modes include the following:

READ

Controls READ access to the asset.

WRITE

Controls WRITE access to the asset.

UPDATE

Controls UPDATE access to an asset. UPDATE is only valid for CA NSM asset types. UPDATE access implies READ and WRITE authority.

CREATE

Controls creating a new asset, such as a new calendar.

DELETE

Controls deleting or removing the asset. For example, this mode would prevent a calendar erase or delete operation. DELETE is useful for preventing accidental deletions.

CONTROL

Controls access CA NSM administration objects, such as STATION, CALENDAR, and so forth.
