Example: Creating global team groups and privileges

To make creating new teams more efficient, you can define rules in the hid_global_configuration external data store (extdb) table that will configure standard team groups with attached privileges that get automatically created whenever a user triggers the Team:Create pre-defined request.

This example demonstrates how to make the entries required in the hid_global_configuration external data store (extdb) table and create a new team for Windows administrator accounts using the new standardized configuration.

Requirements

This example requires:

  • Bravura Security Fabric and Connector Pack installed

  • Bravura Pattern: Privileged Access Edition installed
