Managing subsystems

Using the Security Management dialog, you can create new subsystems, edit existing subsystems, and delete subsystems. To access this dialog:

• On the Axiom tab, in the Administration group, click Manage > Security > Security Manager.

  NOTE: In systems with installed products, this feature may be located on the Admin tab. In the System Management group, click Security > Security Manager.

To work with subsystems, select Subsystems in the top left-hand corner of the dialog.

NOTE: Only administrators and users with the Administer Security permission can create, edit, and delete subsystems. Subsystem administrators are limited to viewing the General tab of the subsystem only, for purposes of assigning existing users to the subsystem.

To save changes, click Apply (or OK if you are finished editing security settings).

Creating subsystems

You can create a new blank subsystem, or you can clone the settings of an existing subsystem. If you clone a subsystem, all of that subsystem's settings are copied to the new subsystem, except for assigned users.

To create a subsystem, click one of the following buttons located underneath the subsystem list:

• To create a new blank subsystem, click Create subsystem .
• To clone an existing subsystem, select that subsystem in the list and then click Clone subsystem .

The new subsystem is added to the list. You can define the settings for the new subsystem as desired, and you can assign users and roles to the subsystem. You can also assign a user as a subsystem administrator, to manage the users within the subsystem.

Editing subsystems

To edit a subsystem, select a subsystem from the Subsystems list, then make any changes to that subsystem. Changes to subsystem settings take effect when the changes are saved.

Deleting subsystems

To delete a subsystem, select a subsystem from the Subsystems list, then click Delete subsystem . You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete the subsystem.

A subsystem cannot be deleted if users are assigned to it.
