Editing and deleting user classes

You can edit user classes by:

  • Adding and removing participants

  • Editing the description and list expression for participants

  • Adding, editing and removing membership criteria

  • Changing user class policies

Default user classes should be edited during the initial Bravura Security Fabric setup and configuration. For example, define membership and assign user access rules to the _GLOBAL_HELP_DESK_ and _HELP_DESK_MANAGERS_ user classes to create a user base that can help regular users.

There are restrictions to what type of changes you can make to a user class, limited by which policies have that user class in use. See the table below for details.

The product administrator doing the editing must have the "Manage policies" administrative privilege.

For auditing purposes, a user class cannot be deleted or changed after it has been used. A “used” user class is indicated by the following fields on the User class definition page:

  • Date first used in certification

  • Date most recently used in certification
