> # Manage Access Control Dialog

> Access control instructions (ACIs) specify who may access or modify an entry or a resource. Use this dialog to create, edit, and remove ACIs for the selected entry in the Directory Server console. In Sun Java System Server Console, use this dialog to control access to the selected server or user interface element.

> Note that Directory Server does not grant any access unless it is explicitly allowed by an ACI. The default ACIs on the root suffix grant anonymous and administrator access. You may override any ACI that allows some access by defining an ACI that denies the same access.

> The list in this dialog shows the name of the ACIs that control access to the chosen entry or resource. By default, the list only shows the ACIs defined specifically on the given entry or resource.

> Show Inherited ACIs. Check this box to show any ACIs that this entry or resource inherits from its parent entries. You cannot edit or remove inherited ACIs, they are shown only for information.

> New. Click this button to invoke the ACI editor and define a new ACI on this entry or resource. Note that ACIs on an entry apply to the entry and all entries in its subtree, if any, unless it is created to apply to a specific entry.

> Edit. Select an ACI from the list and click this button to invoke the ACI editor and define the access control it enforces.

> Remove. Select an ACI from the list and click this button to delete it after confirmation.
