Adding policies
Now that you’ve selected the resources to protect, add two policies, one named MARS
and one named VENUS. At the bottom of the Resource View page, you see the Policy
Editor for the resource you just specified
To add policies:
1. Click Add Policy.
2. Enter MARS as the name for the new policy and click OK.
3. Write a description of the policy and click OK.
You see the Resource View page again, showing the policy you just created.
4. Select all the check boxes to protect all actions.
Now you can add users to the policy.
Granting access privileges
For the moment, no one is authorized to access any files or data sources in the
RDSService security context. All of these resources have been protected with the
wildcard rule and no one has been granted permission to access them.
To allow a set of users access to these resources:
1. From the Policy page, select the MARS policy. From the MARS policy page, click
the Rules button. Notice no rules are currently members of the policy.
2. Click the Add/Remove Button. The rule list is a multi select list so you can select all
the rules and add them all at once. For MARS we want to add the following rules:
• MARS_DSN
• MARS_R_DIRECTORY
• MARS_W_DIRECTORY
• MARS_R_FILES
• MARS_W_FILES
• C_R_FILE
• C_W_FILE
• C_DEVELOPMENT_R_FILE
• C_DEVELOPMENT_W_FILE.
Now the MARS policy has access rights to the
mars_dsn and all files in the
c:\development\mars directory and sub directories.
