Resources

A resource is an entity that can be accessed by an accessor and protected by an access rule, or the CA ControlMinder database record that corresponds to that entity. Examples of resources are files, programs, hosts, and terminals.

The main purpose of creating resource records in CA ControlMinder is to define access permissions for the resource that corresponds to the resource record. The access permissions that are required to access a resource are specified in the resource record's access control lists.
