Policies are rules that define which nodes and devices users can access,
when they can access them, and whether virtual-media permissions are
enabled, where applicable. The easiest way to create policies is to
categorize your nodes and devices into node groups and device groups,
and then create policies that allow and deny access to the nodes and
devices in each group. After you create a policy, you assign it to a user
group. See
Assigning Policies To User Groups
(on page 179).
CC-SG includes a Full Access Policy. If you want to give all users access
to all nodes and devices at all times, assign the Full Access Policy to all
user groups.
If you completed Guided Setup, a number of basic policies may already
have been created. See
Configuring CC-SG with Guided Setup
(on
page 33).
To control access using policies:
Create Node Groups to organize the nodes you want to create
access rules for. See
Add a Node Group
(on page 151).
Create Device Groups to organize the devices you want to create
access rules for. See
Add a Device Group
(on page 72).
Create a policy for a node or device group specifying when access to
that node or device group can occur. See
Adding a Policy
(on page
176).
Apply the policy to a user group. See
Assigning Policies To User
Groups
(on page 179).
