Administering protected object policy objects

POP objects are administered in a similar way to ACL policies. You can create and configure a POP, and then attach the POP to objects in the protected object space.

The administration API defines the ivadmin_pop data type to contain the retrieved POP. You can use administration API functions to extract data from the ivadmin_pop objects. You do not need to know the internal structure of the ivadmin_pop data type.

Table 1 lists the methods for administering protected object policy objects.
