Define an ACL Rule for a Resource Class Action
Permission to execute an extension service operation is controlled by an AclRule contained in the
ResourceClassAction.
An ACL rule specifies the access controls that apply to a ResourceClassAction. Access controls can be defined
for any of the following principals:
n
an individual user
n
a member of a specified organization
n
any user whose role includes a specific right
n
any resource defined by the service that created the ACL rule
Rights for specific entity types are specified in the following container elements:
ServiceResourceAccess
This specification is optional.
OrganizationAccess
Access for the organizations. This specification is required.
PrincipalAccess
Access control for users, or for any role that includes a specified right. This
specification is required.
If the Access element in any of these containers has the value Entity, the container must also include an
Entity element that provides a reference to a resource entity, organization, user, or right.
