Security File › Defining Department, Division, and Zone ACIDs

Defining Department, Division, and Zone ACIDs

CA recommends that you take the time to design your Security File and to define this structure to CA Top Secret. The CA Top Secret departments, divisions, and zones give you a reference point on which to establish ownership based on corporate responsibility, and also give you a logical grouping of users based on their position within the organization as shown in the next figure. Even if you initially choose to centralize security, you will be able to easily respond to decentralization requirements when they arise for administration, auditing, or reporting purposes.

Note: Use of division and zone grouping is optional.
