VersionVault policy properties
Use the HCL VersionVault Policy properties page to view or edit properties of an ACLs policy.
Policies have an Access Control List (ACL) for each controlled VOB metatype (such as element, VOB object, policy, and rolemap).
Policy properties
The Policy tab of a policy properties page displays the following information about the selected policy:
| Property name | Property description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the policy. |
| Selector | Displays the policy-selector in the form [policy:]policy-name[@vob_selector] where policy-name is the name of the policy and vob_selector is the object-selector for a VOB, in the form [vob:]pname_in_vob. |
| Kind | The kind of resource that is currently selected (a policy). |
| Description | The creation comment associated with the policy. |
| Created on | The date and time when the policy was created (added to source control). |
| Created by | The name of the VersionVault user who created the policy, in the form user_id.group_id |
| Scope | By default, a policy's scope is ordinary; it is available only to the VOB in which you create it. |
ACL properties
The ACL tab of a policy properties page displays the following information about the selected policy:
| Property name | Property description |
|---|---|
| Permissions for user | Shows the generic permissions (such as Read, Change, Full, or None) for the current user on the currently selected policy. |
| Full Effective ACL | Shows the shows the principals and permissions of the effective ACL for the current policy. The effective ACL is computed by combining the rolemap and its policy, substituting the role mappings in the rolemap for the role in the policy's access control entries. The net result is an ACL that has no indirect principals and is easy to interpret during an access check. |
| Only show entries affecting me | When this option is selected, the Full Effective ACL displays only those principals which include the current user. |
| Rolemap for this resource | Shows the rolemap for the currently selected policy. |
| Open | Opens the rolemap for the current policy in the rolemap editor. |

The Custom tab of the policy properties page displays the following information about the selected policy:
| Property name | Property description |

| Attributes | A list of VersionVault attributes attached to the selected policy. Each attribute has a Type and a Value. |
| Hyperlinks | A list of hyperlinks attached to the selected policy. |
Policy lock properties
The Lock tab of the policy properties page displays the following information about the selected policy:
| Property name | Property description |

| Locked by | The name of the VersionVault user who locked the policy, in the form user_id.group_id. |
| Locked on | The date and time when the lock was created. |
| Description | A comment associated with the lock. |

Policy mastership properties
If the selected policy is in a VOB that is replicated using HCL VersionVault MultiSite, the Mastership tab of the policy properties page displays the following information about the selected policy:
| Property name | Property description |
|---|---|
| Current replica | The replica name of the replica that holds the policy (the replica that is accessible to the VersionVault server). |
| Master replica | The name of the replica that masters the current policy. |
The mastership of an object determines who can modify it. In general, if your current replica does not master an object, you cannot modify it.
