ARIS users access Alfabet directly or indirectly. Depending on the action, a different type of authentication is used:
Mapping single Alfabet objects, importing objects in bulk or synchronizing data requires read access via the Alfabet REST API v2.
If you still use Alfabet REST API v1, the login specified in the ARIS-ALFABET-integration.xml configuration file is used for authentication. Login credentials, Web service URL, and User interface URL can also be specified in the Alfabet integration property dialog of the related database. The access permissions of the configured login therefore define which Alfabet objects the ARIS users with access to the actions can see.
Warning
When accessing the Alfabet RESTful API, the login data is transferred with the HTTP header. Therefore, you must ensure that the transfer is encrypted.
To open the Alfabet object, users require read access in the Alfabet Web User Interface. Users must log in to Alfabet themselves.
To create Alfabet objects, users require write access in the Alfabet Web User Interface. Users must log in to Alfabet themselves.
