access control list (ACL)
BMC PATROL
A list that is created by using a PATROL Agent configuration variable and that restricts PATROL Console access to a PATROL Agent. A PATROL Console can be assigned access rights to perform console activities, agent-configuration activities, or event-manager activities. The console server uses ACLs to restrict access to objects in the Common Object System (COS) namespace.
BMC ProactiveNet
A list that comprises the WriteLevelSecurity and ReadLevelSecurity fields of BMC Atrium CMDB and BMC ProactiveNet. Access control in BMC ProactiveNet is specified through ACLs defined in a configuration item (CI). ACLs of a CI control which user groups have access to the CI.
BMC Server Automation
A set of permissions that is defined for every system object. The ACL for an object specifies which roles are granted access to the object and what types of actions those roles can perform on the object. Using the ACL defined for any server, you can generate an agent ACL.
