About access policy
item configuration
An access policy item is a small action, or rule, that serves a specific
purpose in an access policy. Access policy items are all added to the access policy in the
same way; but in most cases, each access policy item must be configured individually. In
Access Policy Manager, an access policy item
is one of five types.
Item type | Configuration details | Examples |
---|---|---|
Blank item | This type of access policy item has no explicit
configuration on the configuration page, and can be configured to verify a wide
range of conditions with Expression screens. |
|
Preconfigured branch rule item | This type of access policy item has no explicit
configuration on the configuration page, and a preconfigured set of rules on
the Branch Rules page. |
|
Properties page configuration item | This type of access policy has all standard
configuration options on the configuration page, to verify the required
information, prompt for information, or another action. |
|
Assignment item | An assignment action allows configuration on the
configuration page, and contains a list of available resources of a certain
type, and allows you to select one or multiple resources to assign. Some
resource assignment actions, such as Webtop, Links and Sections Assign, allow
you to assign multiple items of different types. Advanced Resource Assign is a
special case that allows you to select and assign multiple resources of
different types at once. |
|
Mapping assignment item | A mapping assignment action allows you to assign one
variable or resource to the value of another variable or resource. This kind of
assign action includes the assignment of resources or variables on a separate
page, linked from the main screen. |

saving the objects. The following characters are allowed: ( ) - _ + [ ].
