Object Group Management

In the security application, "objects" can be ACE, IIB, IBM MQ, TIBCO EMS, Kafka, Solace, or RabbitMQ objects. To generate security configurations using permits statements, a fully qualified object specification is required. To add, edit, or delete object groups, select Object Group Management from the Security Manager menu.

A sample entry for All Objects and Navigator queues (queues starting with NASTEL) is listed. You can create specific object groups that map to your applications. As you will notice when setting up object groups, an object group can be defined by what it includes or by what it excludes.

Add an object group

    In version 11.2, select Security Manager Security manager button.png> Object Group Management from the left toolbar. 
  2. Click the add icon AddUsrBt.png.
  3. On the General tab, enter the object group's Name (required) and a Description of this object group record (optional). 
  • To prevent others from working on this record, select the Locked option and click Save.
  • To set up object groups ahead of time, you can enter their records but select the Disabled option. This prevents them from being accessed before the system is set up and ready to use. You can also use it to disable an object rather than deleting it.
  1. To specify the parameters of this object group, select the List tab. Enter a value for the Name and select the Type of object that this object group is for. An asterisk can be used to represent "All" (for example, an asterisk under Name indicates "all names." For example, the default record for all objects includes an asterisk in both of these fields. 
  2. Use the Filter Type to indicate how you are treating the specified names and types: do you want to INCLUDE them or EXCLUDE them from this group?
  3. Click +Add.
  4. Repeat steps 4 through 6 as needed.
  5. Click Save.
