Administering protected object spaces

You can use the administration API to create and administer a user-defined protected object space.

You can use this protected object space to define a resource hierarchy that is specific to a third-party application that uses Verify Identity Access authorization services to enforce a security policy.

User-defined object spaces that are created with the administration API are dynamic because they can be updated while Verify Identity Access is running.

Table 1 lists the methods available for administering protected object spaces.

Note: For an introduction to the creation of protected object spaces, see the protected object space information in the IBM Verify Identity Access for Web: Administration Guide.
