Create Remediation Steps

Each remediation step names two access points:

• A "Remove" access point is one involved in an access incident. Your purpose is to simulate what would happen if you were to remove it from a role hierarchy.

• A "From" access point should always be the immediate parent of the Remove access point in a role hierarchy.

If you're basing the simulation on a visualization, you may use the following method to select pairs of access points for remediation steps. This method isn't available if you opened the create page from the Access Simulations page.

1. In the Remediation Steps panel, click the Visualize icon. A Visualization page opens, displaying the visualization you're basing the simulation on.

2. Click on a solid arrow connecting any two access points in the visualization. With the arrow highlighted, right-click and select Remove. The solid arrow becomes dashed, indicating that the access points are selected for a remediation step.

3. If other pairs of access points are appropriate for you simulation, repeat the previous step to select them.

4. If necessary, cancel selections: Click on a dashed arrow. With that arrow highlighted, right-click and select Reset. The dashed arrow becomes solid once again.

5. Select Done. You're returned to the Create Access Simulation page, and each pair of access points you've selected appears in a row of the Remediation Steps grid. For each pair, the parent access point occupies a From Access Point field, and the child access point occupies a Remove Access Point field.

A second method of selecting access-point pairs for remediation steps is available no matter how you create the simulation.

1. In the Remediation Steps panel, select Add. A row appears in the grid.

2. In the Remove Access Point field, click Search. In a Search and Add dialog, search for and select an access point involved in an access incident.

   • If you're basing the simulation on a visualization, the Search and Add dialog limits you to access points that both appear in the visualization and have parent access points.

   • If you aren't basing the simulation on a visualization, the Search and Add dialog enables you to select among all access points.

3. A From Access Point field becomes active only after you make a selection in the Remove field. Click Search in the From field.

   • If you're basing the simulation on a visualization, a Search and Add dialog limits you to access points that are parents of the Remove access point, each in a distinct role hierarchy. Select one.

   • If you aren't basing the simulation on a visualization, the Search and Add dialog enables you to select among all access points. However, be sure to select an immediate parent of your Remove access point in a role hierarchy.

4. Repeat these steps as necessary to select other pairs that are appropriate for your simulation. You can also delete pairs. Select a row and click Delete.

When you finish creating remediation steps, save your simulation.
