Overview
My webMethods Server provides control of access permissions at both the user and the role level. You can specify which parts of the ActiveTransfer interface are available to specific users, user groups, or roles, and the functions that each user, user group, or role is allowed to execute.
Using these permissions, you grant access to ActiveTransfer pages in My webMethods, typically based on the role membership of My webMethods users. By default, My webMethods users have no access to ActiveTransfer pages.
To grant access, you must:
1. Create a My webMethods user account.
2. Define any custom roles you want to create for the user.
3. Grant permissions to any custom roles you have created.
4. Add the user or user group as a member of one or more ActiveTransfer roles.
The default My webMethods role for ActiveTransfer is as follows:
My webMethods Server Role | Corresponding ACL | Description |
MFT Administrators | MFTAdmins | These users can view all ActiveTransfer pages and perform all ActiveTransfer actions. You manually add My webMethods users to this role. |
When you first start Integration Server and ActiveTransfer Server after configuring central user management, ActiveTransfer automatically adds the MFT Administrators role to the Allowed list of the MFTAdmins ACL.
