Creating entitlement rules

You can create entitlement rules from the Entitlement Console. An entitlement rule includes the following qualifications:

A people qualification that defines a set of people who have the entitlement
An SRD qualification that defines the service request definitions (SRDs) included in the entitlement

Recommendations

To limit the number of entitlement rules necessary in your organization, you can perform the following actions:
- Create navigational categories for your SRDs and then create entitlement rules for those categories. For more information, see Configuring navigational categories and Creating SRD qualifications.
- Create packages of SRDs and then create entitlement rules for those packages. For more information, see Creating packages and Creating SRD qualifications.
For SRDs that are intended for any user to request, create an entitlement rule specifying Everyone in the People Qualification Name field. (Everyone is predefined and cannot be changed.) In the SRD Qualification Name field, specify a qualification that includes SRDs intended for any user, for example, SRDs in a specific navigational category. Then, to restrict access to some SRDs, create additional entitlement rules that only allow specific users to access those SRDs.
