EmpowerID ships with the following default Access Level Definitions for each Resource Type. Each Access Level Definition is defined by EmpowerID Operations and/or native system rights. Many of the operations, such as the RBAC operations generated for the Administrator and EmpowerID Administrator Access Level Definitions, are similar for each Resource Type.

ManageAnyResourceRole

assign or unassign any EmpowerID Access Levels

Info

This operation is needed to grant or revoke direct assignments of Access Levels


ManageAnyResourceRoleAssignmentByLocation

assign Access Levels by location for the Resource Type resource object.

Info

This operation is needed to grant or revoke assignments of Access Levels, such as the Use Access Level, to another EmpowerID Actor type, for resource objects by location, meaning the actor needs to have this operation allowed at or below the location for which they are making a by location Access Level assignment; otherwise the operation will route for approval.

By-location operations such as this affect all objects in or below the location for which the operation is approved.

For example, if you grant this operation to an actor for the Security Group Resource Type, that actor has the ability to grant any Access Level for all security groups in or below the location for which the operation is allowed. Thus, if you have 12 groups in a location named "Switzerland" and 12 groups in a location named United Kingdom, and you grant this operation for groups in Switzerland, but not for groups in United Kingdom, to a user named "Bob," then Bob can in turn grant the Use Access Level (or the Editor Access Level or any other Access Level that may exist for groups) to any other EmpowerID Actor type at the Switzerland location or at any child locations of the Switzerland location, such as Zurich. This type of by location assignment at Switzerland would grant the Access Level for all 12 groups in Switzerland simultaneously,  including any groups in locations below Switzerland. Bob, however, would not be able to grant any Access Level assignments for groups in the United Kingdom because he does not have the operation allowed for the United Kingdom location. If Bob attempts to make such an assignment, the operation will route for approval.


RevokeResourceOrgZoneremove Resource Type resource objects from a location.
Remove<%Actor%>From<%ResourceRole%>remove the specific Access Level for the Resource Type resource object from the EmpowerID Actor type in question.
Remove<%Actor%>From<%ResourceRole%>remove the specific Access Level for the Resource Type resource object from any EmpowerID Actor type.
RemoveFrom<%ResourceRole%>InLocationremove the specific Access Level from any EmpowerID Actor type for Resource Type resource objects scoped by location.
RemoveFrom<%ResourceRole%>InRelativeResourceremove the specific Access Level from any EmpowerID Actor type for Resource Type resource objects relative to that actor, such as all resource objects in or below their location
