Create a Contract Clause

To configure a Connection Contract, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Actors section and select the Actor.

2. Access the Connection Contracts tab and add a new Contract Clause.

3. Create a name and description for easy reference.

4. Assign the Clause to a specific server to configure the VFS and users accurately. Each server available to the Actor must have only one Connection Contract.

Warning!

When you select a PR4, PR5, or PR5S server, remember that associated Virtual File Systems must be defined as described here: Virtual File Systems and Spazio 2 protocols PR4 and PR5.

1. Click the Add User or Group button and select whether to access the VFS path via direct assignment or provide VFS access through assigned groups.

If you select direct assignment, insert the VFS and VFS path. Then, in the drop-down list, select the Users and Groups you want to grant access to. Only for the FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, PR4, PR5, and PESIT protocols, you can add custom file upload limits for every User/Group by switching the Upload limit toggle to ON. You can then choose the maximum file size and the unit of measurement. Possible values are: KB (default), MB, GB, and TB. Note that limits placed on Users supersede limits on Groups.

1. Click on the ADD button to add the User or Group. To delete the User or Group assigned, click on the icon.
2. Click Confirm and then Save to finalize the creation of the Connection Contract.

You have created the Connection Contract, associating the actor with the server, and giving users access to the VFS path where files can be delivered or collected. In the image below, user CASTOR_1 can connect to the ftp-server to access all folders of the VFS called VFS-CASTOR.

The Contract Clauses section now lists the newly created Clause, which can be edited or deleted with the standard edit and delete icons.
