Editing rule permissions
vFoglight allows you to control access to rules. For each rule you can grant or deny
read, write, or control access to roles or users. For more information about security
concepts in vFoglight, see Chapter 3, “Managing Users and Security” on page 105.
vFoglight employs the following behavior when it comes to rule permissions:
• If no one has a permission to the rule, everyone has a permission.
• If one has a permission to the rule, others with undefined permission do not have
any permission.
• Final permission is based on a combination of the role, user, and rule defined on
the server side.
Use the Edit Permissions button ( ) on the Manage Rules dashboard to navigate to the
Edit Permissions for Rule area, that allows you to add or edit permissions to roles and
users, as outlined below. The Edit Permissions for Rules area contains two tables that
show the permissions for each vFoglight user or role.
