Overview

An access control list (ACL) is a list of permissions attached to an object (e.g., client, location, backup, etc.). An ACL specifies which users or groups are granted access to objects. As of SEP sesam version 4.4.3 Grolar, you can configure ACLs for locations and clients, if you have the admin rights. Note that before you configure ACLs, you have to activate authentication, configure the users and specify their access rights. For detalis, see Configuring Database-Based Authentication.

Configuring permissions (ACLs) for locations and clients

You can configure ACLs for a location (group of clients) or a specific client in the properties of the existing locations and clients. If you want to set up ACLs for a new location/client, you have to configure it first and then you can add the relevant permissions in their properties. For details on how to configure new locations and clients, see Configuring Location and Configuring Clients.

  1. From Main selection -> Components -> Topology, select the relevant location or a client (under the location) and double-click it (or click the Properties button). The Location/Client properties window appears.
  2. Switch to the Permissions tab. Select the relevant user or group. You can also add a new user/group by clicking Add and selecting a relevant user/group from the drop-down list.
    Click OK to add a new user/group.

  4. Under Permissions panel, enable or disable access (to location/client) per user/group by clicking the Allow or Deny checkbox.
  5. Information sign.png Note
    Groups ADMIN and OPERATOR have full access to all locations/clients by default. RESTORE group has denied access to all locations/clients by default. It is not possible to set the ACLs for the administrators because they have always full access to all locations and clients.
  6. Click OK to set up ACLs for a location/client.

When the administrator modifies the default ACL and therefore attaches ACL to the selected object, the client sends the information on ACL together with the object ID and the name of the data accessor object to the SEP sesam Server, which stores the ACLs to the database. The next query for objects uses the stored ACLs if the type of the queried objects matches the type of the object the ACL got attached to.
