Configure a Resource-based Policy: Storm

How to add a new policy to an existing Storm service.

1. On the Service Manager page, select an existing Storm service.
   The List of Policies page appears.
2. Click Add New Policy.
   The Create Policy page appears.
   
   
3. Complete the Create Policy page as follows:

   Table 1. Policy Details

   Label	Description
   Policy Name	Enter an appropriate policy name. This name is cannot be duplicated across the system. This field is mandatory.
   normal/override	Enables you to specify an override policy. When override is selected, the access permissions in the policy override the access permissions in existing policies. This feature can be used with Add Validity Period to create temporary access policies that override existing policies.
   Storm Topology	Enter an appropriate Topology Name.
   Description	(Optional) Describe the purpose of the policy.
   Audit Logging	Specify whether this policy is audited. (De-select to disable auditing).
   Policy Label	Specify a label for this policy. You can search reports and filter policies based on these labels.
   Add Validity Period	Specify a start and end time for the policy.

   Table 2. Allow Conditions

   Label	Description
   Select Group	Specify the groups to which this policy applies. To designate a group as an Administrator, select the Delegate Admin check box. Administrators can edit or delete the policy, and can also create child policies based on the original policy. The public group contains all users, so granting access to the public group grants access to all users.
   Select User	Specify the users to which this policy applies. To designate a user as an Administrator, select the Delegate Admin check box. Administrators can edit or delete the policy, and can also create child policies based on the original policy.
   Storm User and Group Permissions*	Add or edit permissions. See the table below.
   Delegate Admin	You can use Delegate Admin to assign administrator privileges to the users or groups specified in the policy. Administrators can edit or delete the policy, and can also create child policies based on the original policy.

   Because Storm does not provide a command line methodology for assigning privileges or roles to users, the User and Group Permissions portion of the Storm Create Policy form is especially important.

   Table 3. * Storm User and Group Permissions

   File upload	Allows a user to upload files.
