Assigning ACLs to Folders, Services, and Other Elements
You can use the Integration Server Administrator to assign an ACL to a folder, a subfolder, or an individual service. Keep the following points in mind when assigning ACLS using the Integration Server Administrator:
If you assign an ACL to a folder, all the children in the folder will inherit that setting unless they already have an ACL explicitly set. For more information about inheritance, see
Default Settings and Inheritance.
You can only assign an ACL to an element if you are a member of that ACL. For example, if you want to allow DevTeam1 to update the
ProcessOrder service, you must be a member of the DevTeam1 ACL. That is, your user name must be a member of a group listed in the DevTeam1 ACL.
If an element is locked by another user or system-locked, you cannot change the ACL assigned to the element. You can only assign an ACL to an unlocked element or an element locked by you.
Note:
Use Designer to assign ACLs to packages, specifications, document types, schemas, and triggers. For more information, see webMethods Service Development Help.
Use the following procedure to assign a new or different ACL to a folder or service.
To assign an ACL to a folder or service
1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Packages menu of the Navigation panel, click Management.
3. Click Browse Folders.
4. If the current screen does not list the folder or service to which you want to assign an ACL, click the name of the parent folder until the server displays a screen that lists the folder or service with which you want to work.
5. Click in the appropriate ACL field (List, Read, Write, or Execute).
The server displays the ACL Information screen. Use the pull-down list to select the ACL you want to assign to the folder or service and click Save Changes.
