Control 

Description 

Rule Index 

Assigns a number to a rule. By default, this field displays a number one greater than the last rule (indicating this rule will be placed bottom of the list). If you type a lower number, the new rule is inserted into the specified position in the list, and the rules currently in the configuration are renumbered.  

Screen 

(Optional) Specifies the Screen for which you want the rule to apply. Type a specific Screen name in this field if you use centralized management and want a rule to apply to a specific Screen. The default All applies to all Screens.

User 

Lists the user names of SunScreen administrators. Use the names that you defined for the Administrative User object.  

Access Level 

Specifies what actions the designated user can perform. 

  1. ALL - Allows the administrator to display and modify all setting for the Screen.

  2. WRITE - The administrator can perform all operations except modifying the Administration Access rules for any Policy.

  3. READ - The administrator can view both the Information and Policy. This level also allows the user to save and clear logs on the information page. With this access level users cannot modify any Policy data.

  4. STATUS - The administrator can display status information (logs, statistics, status information) but cannot display or modify management settings.

  5. NONE - The administrator no longer has any access. This switch prevents an administrator who had access from logging in without having to remove that administrator from the database.
