User-Defined Classes

CA ControlMinder enables you to define new classes, so that you can protect abstract objects by creating appropriate records for them.

Example: User-Defined Class for a Database View

A site may use a database to store and display proprietary data.

You can define a user-defined class DATABASE_VIEWS, and define each database view to be a resource member of that class. Give the resource an ACL that defines the access authority required to create that database view. When a user attempts to create a database view, CA ControlMinder checks the access authority of the user, and permits or disallows the creation based on the ACL.
