Chapter 3: Setting Up Role-Based Authorization

Defining objects

Objects are entities that represent the e-Biz Impact infrastructure and the server and cluster structure for which you are defining security.

The Authorization Console allows you to create three object types—managers (clusters), controllers, and SFMs. These are the only available object types, because these are the only objects on which you can execute commands for which you can control authorization.

Use the manager to create controller objects, and use the controller to create SFM objects. Manager and controller objects can issue commands, while only SFM objects can receive CNC commands.

To create a new object, right-click Objects in the tree pane and select New. Name the object, select the associated object type, and click OK.

You can also select a parent object, then use the All Task menu item to create the appropriate object:

Each object is given a default name (you can rename the objects) and assigned one of the following types: SFM, controller, or manager. You can also import the object tree from your cluster configuration (the <cluster-name>.xml file generated by Configurator).

NoteObject names must be unique within any authorization database.
