Inheriting authorization configuration from the target system

You can configure target systems so that managed groups inherit the authorization configuration settings of the target system. You can also override the configuration for a group or add authorizers.

Enable inheritance by selecting the Default authorization for child resources, including templates and managed groups, will be inherited from the target system option on the relevant Target system information page .

To override or add to the configuration for a managed group:

  1. Navigate to the Managed group information page .

  2. Set Override authorization configuration to:

    • Only use inherited configuration

    • Do not inherit any configuration

    • Add to inherited configuration (default)

  3. Click the Authorization tab.

    • If you chose to not inherit authorization, then the page shows authorization explicitly setup for the managed group; no authorization from the target system should display.

    • If you chose to add to inherited authorization, then the page displays settings that are both inherited and explicitly set for the group.

    When you choose to add to inherited authorization, the minimum number of required authorizers will be determined by the larger value set for the managed group or target system.

Proceed to configure authorization as described in the rest of this section.
