Modifying permissions in an Access Template

You can modify the permissions of an Access Template with the Modify Permission Entry dialog of the Active Roles Console.

To modify a permission entry in an Access Template

  1. In the Console tree, under Configuration > Access Templates, locate and select the folder that contains the Access Template you want to modify.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the Access Template, and click Properties.

  3. On the Permissions tab, select the permission entry you want to modify, click View/Edit, then use the tabs in the Modify Permission Entry dialog to make changes to the permission entry.

For detailed instructions on how to view or modify a permission entry in an Access Template, see Creating an Access Template.

NOTE: Consider the following when modifying the permissions of an Access Template:

  • The Permissions tab lists the permission entries that are configured in the Access Template. You can use the Permissions tab to add, modify, or delete permission entries from the Access Template.

  • The options on the Permissions tab in the Modify Permission Entry dialog are read-only. If you need to choose a different option for the permission entry, delete the permission entry, then add a new permission entry with the option you need. For more information, see Adding permissions to an Access Template.

  • Once you apply an Access Template in Active Roles to specify directory permissions, any changes to the list of permission entries in the Access Template will result in the directory permissions changing accordingly.

  • Active Roles includes a suite of predefined Access Templates. The list of permission entries in a predefined Access Template cannot be modified. If you need to add, modify, or delete permission entries from a predefined Access Template, create a copy of that Access Template, then make changes to the copy. Another option is to create an Access Template and nest the predefined Access Template into the newly created Access Template. For instructions, see Creating an Access Template, Copying an Access Template, and Managing nested Access Templates.

Removing permissions from an Access Template

You can remove permissions from an Access Template by deleting the related permission entry in the Active Roles Console.

To delete a permission entry from an Access Template

  1. In the Console tree, under Configuration > Access Templates, locate and select the folder that contains the Access Template you want to modify.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the Access Template, and click Properties.

  3. On the Permissions tab, select the permission entry you want to delete, click Remove, then click Yes to confirm the deletion.

NOTE: Consider the following when working with an Access Template:

  • The Permissions tab lists the permission entries that are configured in the Access Template. You can use the Permissions tab to add, modify, or delete permission entries from the Access Template.

  • Once you apply an Access Template in Active Roles to specify directory permissions, any changes to the list of permission entries in the Access Template will result in the directory permissions changing accordingly.

  • Active Roles includes a suite of predefined Access Templates. The list of permission entries in a predefined Access Template cannot be modified. If you need to add, modify, or delete permission entries from a predefined Access Template, create a copy of that Access Template, then make changes to the copy. Another option is to create an Access Template and nest the predefined Access Template into the newly created Access Template. For instructions, see Creating an Access Template, Copying an Access Template, and Managing nested Access Templates.

Managing nested Access Templates

You can define permissions in an Access Template (AT) by including (nesting) other ATs. This reduces the work required if you need to create a new AT that is similar to an existing one. Instead of modifying an existing Template to add new permissions, you can nest it into a new AT.

To manage nested ATs, use the Properties > Nesting settings of the Active Roles Console.

To configure an Access Template to include another Access Template

  1. In the Console tree, under Configuration > Access Templates, locate and select the folder that contains the Access Template you want to configure.

  2. In the details pane, right-click the Access Template, and click Properties.

  3. On the Nesting tab, click Add, then select the Access Template you want to be included in the Access Template you are configuring.

NOTE: Consider the following when nesting Access Templates:

  • Configuring an Access Template to include another Access Template is called "nesting". The Nesting tab provides a list of Access Templates that are nested into the Access Template. You can add Access Templates to the list or remove Access Templates from the list.

  • Nesting an Access Template into a target Access Template causes the list of permission entries in the target Access Template to be extended with the permission entries of the nested Access Template. Thus, if Access Template A is nested into Access Template B, all the permission entries found in Access Template A are added to the list of permission entries in Access Template B.

  • You can view a consolidated list of permission entries for the Access Template: On the Nesting tab, click All Permissions. The list includes both the permission entries that are configured in the Access Template and the permission entries found in each Access Template that is nested into the Access Template. Note that the Permissions tab in the Properties dialog box lists only those permission entries that are configured in the Access Template. The permission entries that are inherited from other Access Templates by reason of nesting are not listed on the Permissions tab.

  • You can view the Access Templates into which the selected Access Template is nested: On the Nesting tab, click Nested In. Double-clicking items in the Nested In list opens the Properties dialog for each of the Access Templates that the selected Access Template is nested into.

  • Nesting allows you to reuse the existing predefined or custom Access Templates. For example, if you need to add permission entries to the predefined Helpdesk Access Template, then you can create a new Access Template, nest the Helpdesk Access Template into the newly-created Access Template, and add permission entries to the new Access Template as needed.

Copying an Access Template

With the Active Roles Console, you can create copies of Access Templates. This feature helps you reuse existing Access Templates. For example, if you need to modify a predefined Access Template, you can create a copy of that Access Template, then modify the copy as needed.

To copy an Access Template

  1. In the Console tree, under Configuration > Access Templates, locate and select the folder that contains the Access Template you want to copy.

  2. To start the Copy Object - Access Template wizard, in the details pane, right-click the Access Template, then click Copy.

  3. On the first page of the wizard, do the following, then click Next:

    1. In the Name box, enter a name for the new Access Template.

    2. (Optional) In the Description box, enter any information about the new Access Template.

  4. On the second page of the wizard, you can add, modify, and delete the permission entries that were copied from the original Access Template. Do the following, then click Next:

    • To add a permission entry to the new Access Template, click Add.

    • To modify a permission entry for the new Access Template, select the entry from the list, and click View/Edit.

    • To delete a permission entry from the new Access Template, select the entry from the list, and click Remove.

    For more information on how to add or modify a permission entry, see Creating an Access Template.

  5. To create the copy of the Access Template, click Finish.
