Infoblox provides predefined access policies so you can quickly set up your role-based access control. You can also add new access policies to grant specific permissions to specific users and access views based on your business needs. For information about access views, see About Access Views.

To add a new access policy, complete the following:

  1. Log in to Infoblox Portal.

  2. Go to Configure > Administration > User Access > Access Policy.

  3. Click Create Access Policy.

  4. In the Create Access Policy dialog, complete the following:

    • Name: Enter the name of the access policy you want to add. If you create a new policy, ensure that you enter a name that reflects the function of this policy.

    • Description: Enter a description of this access policy.

    • Role: From the drop-down menu, select the user role you want to apply to the user group for this access policy. If you plan to configure access views, ensure that you select a role that supports access views. Otherwise, when you try to select a access view in the Access View field below, the unsupported role will be removed and you will need to re-select a supported role. Access view supports only the DDI IPAM Manager Role, DDI IPAM Operator Role, DDI IPAM Auditor Role and DDI IPAM User Role in this release. Other roles will be supported in future releases.

    • User Group: From the drop-down menu, select the user group you want to use for this access policy. Note that all users in the user group will assume the access permissions to the applicable services and responsibilities in the selected user role. Ensure that you understand the set of permissions in the user role that you plan to grant to this user group.

    • Access View: From the drop-down menu, select the access view to which you want to assign the access policy. You can use the search function to quickly locate a specific access view. If you have selected a role that does not support access views (in the Role field above), the role will be removed and you will need to re-select a role that supports access views. For information about access views and how to use them, see Configuring Access Views.

  5. Click Save & Close to add the access policy.
