Copy access control data to the production server

Access control policies do not get propagated from a staging server to a production server using the stagingProp utility. It is still useful, however, to test the policies on staging to ensure it is working as expected. You can propagate data from staging to production.

Procedure

1. Add or modify access control policies using an XML file.

   This is the recommended approach to customizing access control policies. This approach is more flexible and can add or make more complex changes to policies. The only limitation is policies cannot be removed using this method.

   1. Prepare the custom XML policies file.

   2. Load the XML file to the staging server database.

   3. Test the policies on the staging server and make any changes, if necessary.

   4. Once satisfied with the policies, copy the XML policies file to the production server.

   5. Load the same XML file to the production server database.

   6. Refresh the access control registries.

2. Change access control policies from the Organization Administration Console.

   This approach enables you to make simple changes to the policies. See Customize access control policies using the Organization Administration Console for a complete list of actions that can be performed using this tooling.

   1. Make the changes through the Organization Administration Console of the staging server. Note the steps that have been made, as we will make the same changes in the production server.

   2. Test the policies on the staging server and make any changes, if necessary.

   3. Once satisfied with the policies, make the same changes to the production server.
