Access Control Overview

HCL UnO Agentic AI Builder uses role‑based access control to ensure that users can perform actions appropriate to their responsibilities. Roles determine what actions a user can perform across folders, agents, templates, and deployments.

Access is typically inherited through folder structure, ensuring consistent permissions across agents and related assets.

Understanding Access Types

The system uses the following standard permissions to control resource interaction:

LIST: Allows a user to view a list of available resources.
DISPLAY: Enables viewing or exporting the full details of a specific resource.
Note: Having DISPLAY permission automatically grants LIST access
.
ADD: Permits the creation or import of a new resource.
MODIFY: Allows updates and edits to an existing resource.
DELETE: Grants the authority to remove a resource from the system.
USE: Allows the user to utilize a resource within a workflow.
Operational Permissions: Specialized actions for AI development, including TEST (Test the agent), DEPLOY (Activate the agent), and UNDEPLOY (Take the agent offline).

Note: For more information on access and roles, refer to the UnO Security settings documentation.
