ID. Alphabetic ID that describes the access hook. These IDs have a uniform format. The first part of the ID (up to the first underscore character) describes the functional area in SL1. For example "AST_" stands for Asset Management and "DASH" stands for dashboards. The remaining parts of the ID further describe the location in SL1 and the actions allowed with the Access Hook. For example "CRED_SNMP_ADDREM" means that the Access Hook affects credentials, specifically SNMP credentials, and allows the user to add and remove SNMP credentials.
- Name. Name of the Access Hook.
- # Aligned Keys. Number of Access Keys that the Access Hook is aligned to. Clicking on the padlock icon (
) displays the Access Key Alignment modal page, which displays the list of aligned Access Keys for this hook. - Description. Description of the Access Hook.

Default Access Keys
SL1 includes default Access Keys to use with the most common user profiles and the most common tasks in SL1. These default Access Keys are intended as a starting point for administrators to develop a set of access keys that meet their needs. You can edit the default Access Keys; the default Access Keys excluding Grant All are not modified when a system is updated with the latest software. The Grant All key is always updated to include all Access Hooks excluding "Key Manager"
You can use the default Access Keys and user policies to assign groups of users the appropriate Access Keys. For details on user policies, see
You are not required to use the default access keys.

You can create Access Keys on the Key/Hook Alignment Editor page.
To create an Access Key:
- To navigate to the Access Hooks page, go to System > Manage > Access Keys.
- Click the button. The Key/Hook Alignment Editor page appears:
- Supply a value in each of the following fields in the Key/Hook Alignment Editor page:
- Name. Enter a name in the Name field. This name will be used anywhere a list of Access Keys is displayed.
- Key Category. Select a category from the Key Category drop down list. Categories are included to help you organize your access keys. Lists of Access Keys are always displayed grouped by category. In addition, Access Keys must be in certain Categories if they will be used to control access to Dashboards, Knowledge Base Articles or Device Groups. For more information, see the Using Access Keys with User Generated Content section.
Caution: Due to security vulnerabilities, ScienceLogic recommends that customers who installed SL1 prior to 8.9.2 disable the Knowledge Base. For details, see the release notes for version 8.9.2 of SL1.
- Key Description. Enter a description in the Key Description field. The description is displayed on the Access Keys page, and is included to help you organize your Access Keys. The description is also displayed when the mouse is hovered over the Access Key on the Account Permissions and User Policy Properties Editor pages. The description is optional.
- Select Access Hooks to align with the Access Key using the list of Unaligned Access Hooks and Aligned Access Hooks and arrow buttons (, ). Initially, all Access Hooks will be in the list of Unaligned Access Hooks.
- To assign an Access Hook to the current Access Key:
- Highlight one or more Access Hooks in the Unaligned list.
- Highlight one or more Access Hooks in the Unaligned list.
- To move Access Hooks from the current Access Key:
- Highlight one or more Access Hooks in the Aligned select list.
- Click the arrow button that points left ().
You can select multiple Access Hooks at once:
- To select a range of Access Hooks, click on the first Access Hook, then click on the last Access Hook while holding down the <Shift> key on your keyboard. The Access Hooks you clicked on and all the Access Hooks between them in the list will be selected.
- To select several Access Hooks, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard while clicking on them. Mac users should hold down the Command key instead of the CTRL key.
- To select every Access Hook in a category, click on the red category name.
- Select the button. The message "Save Completed" will be displayed at the top of the screen.
- If you select the button again, any changes made will be applied to the same Access Key. Select the button if you want to create another Access Key.
Editing an Access Key
To edit an Access Key:
- Navigate to the Access Keys page (System > Manage > Access Keys).
- Find the Access Key you want to edit. Click the Key Editor icon () for that Access Key. Alternately, if you are already in the Key/Hook Alignment Editor page, you can select an Access Key to edit from the list of Access Keys displayed on the left side of the page.
- When you select an Access Key to edit, all the fields in the Key/Hook Alignment Editor page are populated with the current data for the Access Key. You can make changes to the values in one or more fields.
- After making changes, click the button to save your changes.
- To save your changes as a new Access Key, enter a new value in the Name field and select the button.
- Clicking the button will reload the fields with the last saved data for the Access Key, without saving any changes from this editing session.
Deleting Access Keys
"Delete Key" is the only option in the Select Action drop down list on the Access Keys page. Perform the following steps to delete Access Keys:
- On the Access Keys page, click the checkbox (
) for each Access Key to be deleted. - In the Select Action drop down list, select Delete Key.
- Click the button.
NOTE: You cannot delete an Access Key that is currently granted to a user account or user policy. Checkboxes will not be displayed for Access Keys that cannot be deleted.
