HierarchicalZoneComputer

The HierarchicalZoneComputer class represents a computer joined to a hierarchical zone.

Syntax

public interface IHierarchicalZoneComputer : IComputer

Discussion

The HierarchicalZoneComputer class inherits many methods and properties from the Computer class, but adds support for partial profiles and inheritable roles. Under hierarchical zones, both identity (profile data) and access (authorization data) are inherited, such that a computer’s effective identity or access are determined by all the profile data and all the access data at all levels of the hierarchy.

See HierarchicalUser for a discussion of profile and access inheritance.

When you assign computer-level overrides for user, group, or computer role assignments, Delinea creates a computer zone, which is a special type of zone that contains the users, groups, and computer role assignments that are specific to only that one computer. Computer zones are not exposed as zones in Access Manager, but are referred to in the method and property descriptions where appropriate.
