Actions

Actions are used to define what can be done on a resource that requires access control. Typically every resource type will have a set of possible actions assigned to it. For example, there are two actions that can be associated with a Web page: edit and delete.
It is important to distinguish between actions that apply to particular resources and actions that are more general. For example, the editGroups action does not apply to a particular group, but refers to the capability of a user to edit all groups. For that reason its resource type is domain. On the other hand, the viewWebPage action can be applied to a specific Web page, so its resource type is Webpage.
Currently, actions are assigned in either iC Navigator or iC Creator (click HERE).
The table below lists actions that can be used to assign permissions. The user readable name is what is visible on screen, as are the action categories, which correspond to folders:
