Policies for Access Control

Policies are rules that define which nodes and devices users can access, when they can access them, and whether virtual-media permissions are enabled, where applicable. The easiest way to create policies is to categorize your nodes and devices into node groups and device groups, and then create policies that allow and deny access to the nodes and devices in each group. After you create a policy, you assign it to a user group. See Assigning Policies To User Groups.

CC-SG includes a Full Access Policy. If you want to give all users access to all nodes and devices at all times, assign the Full Access Policy to all user groups.

If you completed Guided Setup, a number of basic policies may already have been created. See Configuring CC-SG with Guided Setup.

• To control access using policies:

• Create Node Groups to organize the nodes you want to create access rules for. See Add a Node Group.
• Create Device Groups to organize the devices you want to create access rules for. See Add a Device Group.
• Create a policy for a node or device group specifying when access to that node or device group can occur. See Adding a Policy.
• Apply the policy to a user group. See Assigning Policies To User Groups.
