Security Model

Security model is a feature that allows you to select targets to allow actions, or to select targets to prohibit actions.
If you change to the appropriate security model, targets for which you set access permissions are reduced, and it becomes easier to manage.

Select one of the following security models.

GRANT (Only users on the list have access)

Set organizations, users, or roles that you want to allow actions.
When you set access permissions for organization or role, they are applied to all users who are members of the organization or the role.

REVOKE (All users have access except users on the list)

Set organizations, users, or roles that you want to prohibit actions.
When you set access permissions for organization or role, they are applied to all users who are members of the organization or the role.
