When defining permissions for domains, Apex One automatically applies the permissions for a parent domain to all the subdomains that it manages. A subdomain cannot have lesser permissions than its parent domain. For example, if the System Administrator has permission to view and configure all Security Agents that Apex One manages (the "Apex One Server" domain), the permissions for the subdomains must allow the System Administrator access to these configuration features. Removing a permission on a subdomain would mean that the System Administrator does not have full configuration permissions for all Security Agents.

For the following procedure, the domain tree is as follows:

For example, to grant the user account "Chris" permissions to view and configure specific menu items for the subdomain "Employees" but only grant permission to view logs in the parent domain "Managers", perform the following procedure.

Table 1. Permissions for User Account "Chris"

Domain

Desired Permissions

Apex One Server

No special permissions

Managers

View Logs

Employees

View and configure Tasks

View and configure Logs

View Settings

Sales

No special permissions

  1. Go to the User Accounts: Step 3 Define Agent Tree Menu screen.
  2. Click the "Apex One Server" domain.
  3. Clear all View and Configure check boxes.
    Note:

    The "Apex One Server" domain is only configurable if you selected all of its subdomains on the User Accounts: Step 2 Agent Domain Control screen.

  4. Click the "Sales" domain.
  5. Clear all View and Configure check boxes.
    Note:

    The "Sales" domain only displays if selected on the User Accounts: Step 2 Agent Domain Control screen.

  6. Click the "Managers" domain.
  7. Select to "View Logs" and clear all other View and Configure check boxes.
  8. Click the "Employees" domain.
  9. Select the following menu items for Chris:
    • Tasks: View and configure

    • Logs: View and configure

    • Settings: View

    Chris can now view and configure the selected menu items for the "Employees" domain and can only view Logs for the "Managers" domain.

If Chris has permission to view and configure the "Managers" domain, Apex One automatically grants the same permissions to the "Employees" subdomain as well. This occurs because the "Managers" domain manages all of its subdomains.
