Access control files
The following table provides the names and descriptions of the default WebSphere Commerce access control files (XML and DTD files). WebSphere Commerce loads these default files when you create your instance.
Files loaded by instance creation
| File Name | Description |
|---|---|

The user access group definitions and descriptions in each supported language. For more information, see Access group bootstrap file . |
| ACUserGroups_en_US.dtd | The access control user groups XML file must conform to this DTD. |
| defaultAccessControlPolicies.xml | The main file containing the definitions of default access control policies, action groups,
resource groups, relationships, relationship groups, actions, resource categories, and attributes.
For more information, see Language-independent access control policy bootstrap file. |
| accesscontrolpolicies.dtd | The access control policies XML file must conform to this DTD. |
|
Files containing the display names and descriptions for default access control policies,
action groups, actions, resource groups, resource categories, relationships, and attributes, in each
supported language. For more information, see Language-dependant access control policy bootstrap file. |
| accesscontrolpoliciesnls.dtd | The access control policies NLS (national language specific) XML file (display names and descriptions only) must conform to this DTD. |
You can use these default files as reference when you create custom access control policies. When you create custom policies, you need to load them using the WebSphere Commerce access control loading utilities:
- acugload utility - to load the user access group definitions.
- acpload utility - to loads access control policy definitions and other policy-related elements.
- acpnlsload utility - to load policy display names and descriptions.
