Selecting Access Control Options
The Program Groups listed reflect the tabs of the Administration Server, for
example, Preferences and Global Settings, and represent access to those pages.
When an administrator accesses the Administration Server, the server uses
their username, host, and IP to determine what pages they can view.
•
Program Items allows you to enter a page name in the Program Items field to
control access to a specific page within a program.
To determine the name of a page, place your pointer over the link in the left
frame of the Administration Server and then view the text in the status bar on
the bottom of your browser. The last word after the last %2b is the name for
that page.
For example, if you want the person who administers a Directory Server to
have access only to the "Configure Directory Service" page, you would set up a
rule that applies only to them (host, IP, and so on), and enter

partial access rights. For example, you allow users read-only access rights to your
files, so they can view the information, but not change the files.
