Learn about the Security Policy from the Signals Configuration

In Signals Notebook, administrators use the Security Policy to manage dynamic access control. A Security Policy is a set of rules to grant users access to resources based on properties of the user and the resource. Rules have three components: Name, Condition, and Action.

Rules are based on:

• Resources (Notebook/Experiment/Inventa Analysis)
• Attributes
• System Groups
• State of an experiment

Note: Sharing an object (Notebook, Experiment, Inventa analysis, etc.) will override any Security Policy that restricts access to a certain group. 

Considerations when setting rules:

• Multiple rules are implicitly OR.
• Granting access to a Notebook does not automatically provide access to an Experiment or Inventa analysis in that notebook.
• Users who do not have access to an Experiment are unable to witness; access must be granted first.
• Misspellings will trigger error messages.
• The language is not case sensitive except for the content of quoted strings. The content of a quoted string is the value or object identifier and must contain the same case as the value or object that it is referencing.
