Administer extended actions

Security Verify Access provides a default set of actions (permissions) that belong to the primary action group that can be granted to users or groups. We can use the administration API to define new, extended actions that supplement the set of default actions. Each of the extended actions can belong to the primary action group or to a custom action group.

Extended actions are typically defined to support actions specific to a third-party application. For more information about extended actions, see the section about creating extended ACL actions and action groups in the IBM Security Verify Access for Web: Administration Guide.

Table 1 lists the methods for administering extended actions.
