Chapter 5: Associations, Categories, and Elements

Policies also use categories and elements to control user access to
servers. For example, the category/element pair Location/America can
be used to create a Policy to control user access to servers in America.
See
Policies for Access Control. (see "Policies for Access Control" on
page 149)
You can assign more than one element of a category to a node or device
via CSV file import.
As you add devices and nodes to CC-SG, you will link them to your
predefined categories and elements. When you create node and device
groups and assign policies to them, you will use your categories and
elements to define which nodes and devices belong in each group.
How to Create Associations
There are two ways to create associations, Guided Setup and
Association Manager.
• Guided Setup combines many configuration tasks into an automated
interface. Guided Setup is recommended for your initial CC-SG
configuration. Once you have completed Guided Setup, you can
always edit your configurations individually. See
Configuring CC-
SG with Guided Setup (on page 13).
• Association Manager allows you to work only with associations, and
does not automate any configuration tasks. You can use Association
Manager to edit your Associations after using Guided Setup, too.
See
Association Manager (see "Adding, Editing, and Deleting
Categories and Elements" on page 22).
Adding, Editing, and Deleting Categories and Elements
Association Manager allows you to add, edit, or delete Categories and
Elements.
Note: By default, CC-SG keeps default category names "System Type"
and "US States and territories" in English.
Add a Category
To add a category:
1. Choose Associations > Association.
2. Click Add. The Add Category window opens.
3. Type a category name in the Category Name field. See Naming
Conventions (on page 353) for details on CC-SG's rules for name
lengths.
4. Select the Data Type for Elements.
