Rule Lines

Rule lines identify asset type, any qualifiers of the rule key name, or a mask that applies to the rule key. In CA Identity Manager, rule lines appear under the Rule Lines Tab.

You must identify the logon IDs or UIDs that have access to the resource or data set. This is called a rule permission. When a user attempts to access an asset, CA ACF2 checks for a rule permission allowing the access.

UID strings appear under rule lines. These UID strings identify a user or a group of users in a rule permission. The rule permission describes the environment for accessing the resource and determines whether the access is permitted for the user or group of users. Access is restricted by day and time, source, and access path (such as a particular program or library).

Note: You can create and delete rule lines; however, you cannot modify them after you have added them.
