View References to Objects in the Configuration Hierarchies

For supported software information, click here.

You can view all references to any object (master profile, subprofile, or any profile element) from other levels of the configuration hierarchy. This feature helps you decide where to propagate changes that you make to an object by showing all of the locations in the hierarchy in which the object is used and allowing you to choose which versions of an object should be updated with the newer version. For more information on propagating changes to objects, see Propagate Object Configuration Changes.

To view reference objects:

1. Go to Configure > Profile Elements > Rules > Security > Access Control.
   
   
   
   The main pane displays the configured access-control policy elements.
   
   
    
2. Click the  Elipsis icon in the upper-right corner of an access controls rule.
   
   
    
3. Select References. The Propagate Configuration screen displays all the objects that refer to the access control rule. Click the  Plus icon to expand a reference object. Click Expand All to expand all reference objects. 
   
   
    
4. Click Close to close the window.
