Access the Administration page.
From the Folders pane, navigate to SAS FoldersSystemSecurityAccess Control Templates.

Note: To locate ACTs that are in custom repositories, your navigation path will vary slight. For example, SAS Folderscustom-repositorySystemSecurityAccess Control Templates.
Find the ACT that you want to update.
