available: View and Add/Edit. For the Audit Log component, only the View privilege is
available. For the Remote (Sessions) component, the two privileges are View and End.
View provides read-only access to the pages of a component, while Add/Edit provides read,
write, and delete access to the pages and features of the component. For remote sessions, the
End privilege allows the user to end a remote session. For example, Add/Edit for the Pending
Requests component allows users to approve or deny pending requests, while, for the Users
component, it allows users to create, edit, and delete profiles, roles, and users. The set of
privileges is defined in the system and cannot be changed.
Profiles – From the Users component of the Policy Server application, you can define a set of
privileges to one or more components. This set of privileges is referred to as a profile. You
may want to create a profile for each main component (Policy, Pending Requests, Audit Log,
Assets, Users, and Remote [Sessions]). Alternatively, you may want to create profiles that apply
to the jobs that certain users perform. For example, you want to create profiles for users who
manage Pending Requests and users who need to monitor the Audit Log. In a profile called
PendingRequests, you select View and Add/Edit for the Pending Requests component. In
another profile called AuditLog, you provide View access to the Audit Log component. In a
third profile called PolicyView, you provide View access only to the Policy component.
Roles – Once you have defined profiles, you can combine them into sets, called roles. You
can then assign roles to each user or assign users to each role. To continue the example from
the Profiles, you create a role called RequestManager and assign it the PendingRequests and
PolicyView profiles. You then assign the user whose job it is to handle incoming requests to
the role. That user will be able to approve and deny pending requests, and as needed, view
the policies for the assets.
Users – Created either in the Users component of the Policy Server application or in your
directory server, Users are the login accounts that you create for people who need access to
Policy Server. Once you have defined roles and assigned profiles to them, you can assign
users to the roles. Similarly, when creating or editing users, you can assign one or more roles
to them.
When the user logs in, the Policy Server authenticates the User Name and Password with the
directory server and then makes available the features defined by the roles assigned to the
user. If a user has no roles assigned, a message is displayed that the user has no privileges
and the user is logged out. If a user has more than one role assigned and a profile for one
of those roles is deleted, that role becomes inactive. The next time that user logs in, only the
features that are defined by the role that has not changed are available.
For example, a user has one role that provides View and Add/Edit to the Assets component
(through one profile) and a second role that provides the same access to the Policy and Pending
Requests components through two separate profiles. If you remove the profile for the Policy
component, the second role becomes inactive. The next time the user logs in, only the
Dashboard and the Assets component are available. The removal of the Policy profile makes
both the Policy and Pending Requests components unavailable because both profiles (Policy
and Pending Request) are assigned to the same role.

HP 3PAR Policy Server Connections

Within an organization, a single HP 3PAR Policy Server can be configured to manage some or
all Agent assets. For very large organizations or organizations that are geographically widespread,
multiple Policy Servers can be configured to handle multiple sets of assets uniquely. For example,
an organization might use multiple Policy Servers to handle assets located in departments that
have different administration and security needs. All Policy Server settings except proxy server
communications are configured in Agent Builder as part of an Agent's project configuration. You
must use Agent Deployment Utility to configure proxy servers. The following figure shows an
example of a single Policy Server connected to some assets at a customer site for policy
management.
