Create a Resource

To create a resource,

  1. Log in to AppViewX application with valid credentials.
  2. Click the menu button located in the upper left corner of the screen.
    The left navigation pane is displayed.
  3. Navigate to Account, and then click Resource from the list.
    Note: AppViewX is packaged with default resource (super access) enabled. All the certificate groups have R (read) and RW (read and write) permissions to the super access resource.
    The Resource page is displayed.
  4. Click the icon in the command bar to create a new resource.
    The Add page is displayed.
  5. The following table describes the options available on the Add page:
    Field Description
    * Name Enter the name of the resource.
    Description

    Enter a brief description of the resource and granular-level access associated with the resource.

    Note: You can enter a maximum of 255 words in the field.
    Note: The asterisk (*) symbol indicates a mandatory field.
  6. Click Save.
    The pop-up message is displayed as Resource added successfully.
  7. Click Access control to associate the required resources and to provide permission.
  8. The Access control tab lists the categories that can be controlled by RBAC using resources. Under the Access control tab, from the left pane, select one of the required categories. The available categories are,

    1. Device (to filter and select the devices that need to be assigned to a resource, click the icon.)

    2. Certificate

    3. ADC (to filter the ADC objects that need to be assigned to the resource, click the icon.)

    4. SSH

    5. Command Session Control

    6. Provisioning Templates

    7. Provisioning Requests

    8. Security Policy

    9. Application Security Policy

    10. Proxy List

    11. Blueprint

    12. Application

    13. Workflow Studio

    14. Workflow Requests.

      Note: AppViewX is packaged with default certificate groups (Certificate-Gateway and Default).
  9. Associate the certificate groups to the resource and assign permission:
    1. Click R (Read-only) to assign read-only permissions.
    2. Click RW (Read and Write) to assign read and write permissions.
    3. On clicking R or RW the certificate group is associated with the resource.
      Note: Provide RW (Read and Write) permission for the resource associate with the root user and R (Read-only) for others.
  10. Use regular expression (regex) to identify and associate the certificate groups to the resource:

    1. Enter the regex in the Search field. For example, enter CA in the search field and click R or RW to assign Read-only or Read and Write permission respectively.

    2. Click the Add as regex button. All the certificate groups that match the regex will auto associate to the resource with the relevant permission. For example, all the certificate groups with CA in their name, such as CA-Digicert, CA-Entrust, CA-Sectigo will auto associate to the resource with R read permission.

    3. One or more than one regex can be added.

      Note: The purpose of the regex is, the search string continues to work in the background and auto-associate all the new certificate groups to the resource when the certificate group matches the regex you created.
  11. Click Save.
