Implementing Resource-Level Security

Implementing Resource-Level Security

This chapter describes how to implement resource-level security for your product regions.

Note: This chapter does not apply to CA SOLVE:FTS, CA SOLVE:Access Session Management, CA SOLVE:InfoMaster, and CA SOLVE:NetMail.

A user's privileges (as defined in UAMS) provide a base level of control over their access authorities to your product region.

You can implement a more granular level of control by implementing resource-level security. This level of security can allow or deny user access to the following functions and resources:

• Individual menus and menu options
• Specific Automation Services system images and resources
• Individual commands
• Individual Customizer parameter groups

Access to these functions and resources is controlled using the Network Partitioning Facility (NPF), your external security package, or both.

This section contains the following topics:
