Add a new controller command using a new policy

To add a new controller command to be accessed by a new role, that does not have an existing role-based policy, create an XML file.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?> 
<!DOCTYPE Policies SYSTEM "../dtd/accesscontrolpolicies.dtd"> 
<Policies> 
<ResourceCategory 
Name="com.xyz.commands.MyNewControllerCmdResourceCategory"
               
ResourceBeanClass="com.xyz.commands.MyNewControllerCmd"> 
       
<ResourceAction Name="ExecuteCommand"/>
</ResourceCategory>  

<ResourceGroup Name="XYZCmdResourceGroup"
OwnerID="RootOrganization">        
<ResourceGroupResource
Name="com.xyz.commands.MyNewControllerCmdResourceCategory"/>
</ResourceGroup>         
<Policy Name="XYZExecuteXYZsCmdResourceGroup"
              OwnerID="RootOrganization"
              UserGroup="XYZ"
              ActionGroupName="ExecuteCommandActionGroup"
              ResourceGroupName="XYZCmdResourceGroup"
              PolicyType="groupableStandard"> 
</Policy>         
<PolicyGroup Name="ManagementAndAdministrationPolicyGroup"
OwnerID="RootOrganization">        
<PolicyGroupPolicy Name="XYZExecuteXYZsCmdResourceGroup"
PolicyOwnerId="RootOrganization"/>
</PolicyGroup>       

</Policies>

Procedure

1. Create a new resource definition in the XML file that corresponds with the interface name of the controller command.

2. Create a new resource group to be associated with the new role:

   <ResourceGroup Name="
   XYZCmdResourceGroup" OwnerID="RootOrganization">
   </ResourceGroup>
   

3. Associate the new resource with the new resource group:

   <ResourceGroup Name="
   XYZCmdResourceGroup" OwnerID="RootOrganization">        
   <ResourceGroupResource Name="com.
   xyz.commands.
   MyNewControllerResourceCategory"/>
   </ResourceGroup>
   

4. Create a policy that references the new resource group:

   <Policy Name="
   XYZExecute
   XYZsCmdResourceGroup"
           OwnerID="RootOrganization"
           UserGroup="
   XYZ"
           ActionGroupName="ExecuteCommandActionGroup"
           ResourceGroupName="
   XYZCmdResourceGroup"
           PolicyType="groupableStandard">
   </Policy>
   

5. Load the XML changes into the database. For more information about loading the XML changes, see Loading the changes into the database.

6. Update the Access Control Policies Registry in the Administration Console by doing the following:

   1. Logon to the Administration Console as a Site Administrator.

   2. Click Configuration > Registry.

   3. From the list of registries, select Access Control Policies.

   4. Click Update.

Results

You can now use the controller command if it is not doing any resource-level checking.
