Issue/Introduction
This error occurs because Infrastructure Manager is responsible for creating the new ACL templates in security.cfg. ?The entries for "Policy Management" and "Policy Basics" do not exist in the creation routine.
First, confirm the following two ACL's exist in the file base_acls.cfg (located in the distsrv probe folder):
Backup the base_acls.cfg file and security.cfg file for safekeeping.
If they do, then use the command-line probe utility (pu.exe) to re-set the ACLs as follows:
Windows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin\pu.exe" -u administrator -p (password) distsrv set_acl_init base_acls.cfg
where (password) is the password for the built-in administrator user.
Linux:
Example output:
Then, in the IM check that the two Policy Engine ACLs are now displayed in the ACL list by selecting Security->Manage Access Control list from the IM drop down menu.
Note that this process will NOT change or remove or reset the ACL list in any way. Furthermore, it will not remove any other pre-existing ACLs. It will simply expose the Policy Management ACLs.
keywords: This user's ACL does not have the required permission to access this portlet.
