Software resources in the SA Library

The SA Library stores software resources such as application configurations, policies, patches, patch policies, packages, OS sequences, OS profiles, Windows COM+, Users and Groups, Local Security Settings. The SA Library is organized by resource type and by folder. You can view software resources either by their type or by their location in the folder hierarchy.

  • The by type view is organized by the type of object (policy, package, OS, patch, script). This view is a popular starting point for most of the software management activities, such as creating application configurations, running scripts, attaching policies to servers.
  • The folder view allows you to manage user group access to the software resources and is organized like a file-system tree. Folders can be added, moved, etc. It is where the admin can organize and manage permissions to shared resources. When you add or import resources, you specify a folder location. The location you specify will determine which user groups can access it.
