Note Service (NOTE) Security

Security for the NOTE service is administered by the Access Control Service (ACS). As with other CygNet services, security is set on an application and event basis. The application name of the NOTE service is defined in the service configuration file using the keyword ACS_APPLICATION. The default is "NOTE ." The security events are listed in the NOTE Events table below.

The following tables provide details about NOTE security settings. See also Security.
