Assets and Resources
Database assets are the files, services, applications, administrative actions, and so on that the InterSystems security system protects. Within the security system, the assets are represented by resources. Each resource can represent one or more assets. The following table lists several examples of resources.
Resource Types
| Type | Examples | Protected Assets |
|---|---|---|
| Database Resources | %DB_USER, %DB_IRISLIB | The databases automatically installed with InterSystems IRIS. |
| Services | %Service_Bindings, %Service_WebGateway, %Service_Console, %Service_CacheDirect | Mechanisms for connecting to InterSystems IRIS. |
| Administrative and Development | %Admin_Manage, %Admin_Operate, %Admin_Secure, %Development | Sets of administrative tasks or development related tools. |
| User defined | N/A | User defined applications or databases. |
