Add comments to an access control rule

Adding comments to access control rules helps you keep track of the purpose of a rule, and changes made to the rule.

When you create or edit an access control rule, you can add a comment. For example, you might summarize the overall configuration for the benefit of other users, or note when you change a rule and the reason for the change. You can display a list of all comments for a rule along with the user who added each comment and the date the comment was added.

When you save a rule, all comments made since the last save become read-only.

To search access control rule comments, use the Search Rules bar on the rule listing page.

Procedure


Step 1

In the access control rule editor, click Comments.

Enter your comment and click Add Comment. You can edit or delete this comment until you save the rule.
