Security Dictionary
The PolicyCenter Security Dictionary is web-based documentation that you can generate. Whenever you change the PolicyCenter data model, regenerate the Security Dictionary to view the changes.
Use the Security Dictionary to view:
- Application permission keys – You can view entity keys individually or grouped by entity. Click the Summary link to view the permission keys by entity.
- Pages – Select a page to see which permissions that page uses. These correspond to PCF files.
- System permissions – Select a permission to see any associated roles, related application permission keys, related pages, and related elements. For example, if you select completeaudit, which is the permission to complete an audit, then you see that the Audit Examiner and the Audit Supervisor use this permission. The related application permission keys are Audit complete and PolicyPeriod audit. Knowing which PCF files contain this permission is also useful for troubleshooting as you can see if the permission is used correctly on those pages.
- Roles – Roles contain the same information that you can see by selecting . The value of seeing it from the Security Dictionary is that you can see which other roles share that permission. For example, if you select Producer, you see the list of permissions that a producer has. If you select a permission such as createsubmission (which is the permission to create a submission), then you also see which roles share that permission. In this example, Producer Code - Submissions, Underwriter, Underwriter Assistant, and Underwriting Supervisor can create submissions, too.
