Creating the Consumer-Provider Relationship Policy
To enable users to register as consumers of assets, you must first create a policy that enables the asset owners to approve or reject the “Register as Consumer” requests. To create the policy, use this procedure.
To create the Consumer-Provider Relationship Policy
1. Create a Design/Change-Time policy with the following specifications:
Field | Value |
Name | Consumer-Provider Relationship Policy |
Object Type | Assets |
Event Type | OnConsumerRegistration |
Actions |  Initiate Approval Register Consumer Set Consumer Permission |
If you need instructions for creating a Design/Change-Time policy, see the CentraSite User’s Guide . For more information about setting the action parameters, see the CentraSite Developer’s Guide .
When you register users to consume assets (as described in
Registering Users to Consume Assets), the policy is triggered and the “Register as Consumer” request is submitted to all members of the approval list specified in the Initiate Approval action. Then, the approvers can either approve or decline the request. If the approvers approve the request, the consumers will be registered as consumers, and appropriate permissions will be assigned to users and groups (permissions are not applicable to application consumers).
