Why Security String of Global Collection is not inherited?

Products

• Spectrum
• Network Observability

Issue/Introduction

I have set a Security String on Global Collection model and I expect the Security String is inherited to its member models, however it is not.

This Security String inheritance works if I set the Security String on a Network container for example, but not on Global Collection.

Why doesn't Spectrum inherit Security String to its member models?

 

Containers outside of the Universe are not inheriting the Security Strings.

Environment

Release: All Supported Versions
Component: SPCCSS

Resolution

Answer:

By default Spectrum does Security String Roll Down (inheritance) based on specific Relations only, i.e.

• Application
• Can_Assign
• CollectsChassis
• Collects
• Contains
• HASPART
• Manages
• Organizes
• Owns
• Provides

Global Collection has either dynamicGlobalCollects or staticGlobalCollects Relation to its member models and by default

Security String Roll Down were not targeted to those Global Collection's Relations.

Additional Information

Please reference the "How to Customize Security String Inheritance" section of the documentation for more information.
