The security settings are specific for each product and are stored in an XML file Security.xml in the home directory of each product

So the Argent Console can have a system administrator different from the Argent Guardian

In other words, the Argent Security GUI creates and changes the XML file

And you should write protect this file from users’ access

Hint:

To propagate the security setting from one product to another product, all you need do is to copy the XML file from the home directory of one product to the home directory of the other product
