Creating, editing, and deleting PATROL Agent ACLs

You create or edit a PATROL Agent Access Control List (ACL) by specifying conditions about the Agent that must be met. This topic provides the following information about creating and maintaining PATROL Agent ACLs:

PATROL Agent ACL editor

The PATROL Agent ACL editor provides menus, lists, and text boxes that you can use to construct the condition statements, as shown in the following image. When the ACL contains multiple conditions, you can indicate whether the statements are optional or required by choosing a logical operator.

ACLs in authorization profiles

When you specify a PATROL Agent ACL on the Objects tab of the Authorization Profile editor, you are restricting access to all PATROL Agents that do not meet the criteria of the ACL.

Condition properties

Condition guidelines

You must specify every attribute in a condition statement. Use double and triple open and closing parentheses to nest properties. The following table lists the properties and comparison operators that you can use to construct condition statements.
