Working with permission sets

Modifying an existing permission set

The permissions granted within a specific permission set can be modified at any time.
The need to modify a permission set can come about immediately after creating it, or changing
requirements over time.
Task
For option definitions, click ? in the interface.
Select a permission set by clicking Menu | User Management | Permission Sets. Select a permission set to
1
modify.
If you have just created a new permission set, the newly-created permission set is already selected
for you.
Select a category of permissions to modify by clicking Edit in that category's row.
2
The options appropriate to the selected permissions category will appear.
Change the permissions as desired, can click Save.
3
This will commit the changes to the permission set into the database.
There is no need to click a Save button when you have completed modifying the permission set. The
changes are saved for you when modifying each individual category. The changes you make are
immediately reflected in the system, and will be propagated to the remainder of your network
according to your policy configuration.

Duplicating a permission set

Occasionally, the easiest way to create a new permission set is to duplicate an existing one similar to
what you want.
Task
For option definitions, click ? in the interface.
Click Menu | User Management | Permission Sets and then select a permission set to duplicate from the
1
Permission Sets list.
2 Click Actions | Duplicate.
Choose a new name for the duplicate. By default, ePolicy Orchestrator appends (copy) to the
3
existing name.
ePolicy Orchestrator will not allow you to use a name that already exists. Each permission set name
must be unique.
4 Click OK.
The permission set is duplicated, but the original is still selected in the Permission Sets list.

Exporting permission sets

Once you have fully defined your permission sets, the fastest way to migrate them to other ePolicy
Orchestrator servers is to export them and import them onto other servers.
Permission sets cannot be exported individually. You can only export the entire list of permission sets
at one time.
