Managing Access Privileges and Functional Privileges
Permissions in My webMethods are grouped under access privileges and functional privileges.
Access privileges govern the rights of a user, group, or role to view applications and features in the Navigation panel, and access associated pages in My webMethods. Granting access privileges to a user also grants the user some functional privileges, and the user can both view and make changes to applications and features.
Functional privileges determine the rights of a user, group, or role to make changes within an application or feature, for example, to create and modify a workspace. Granting functional privileges requires granting access privileges.
The list of access privileges and functional privileges is determined by which webMethods applications are installed. Both the My webMethods administrator and the system administrator can grant or deny these privileges for users, groups, or roles.
Tip: If you need to set the same set of privileges for multiple users, groups, and roles, you should consider aggregating all of them into a single role.
To manage access privileges and functional privileges
1. To navigate to the correct page, do one of the following:
In
My webMethods:
Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Permissions Management.
As system administrator:
Administration Dashboard > Configuration > Permissions Management.
2. On the Search panel, from the Resource Type list, select webMethods Applications.
By default, My webMethods applications are already included in the Selected list.
3. Click Next.
4. On the Manage Permissions panel, click Add.
5. Search for users, groups or roles, move them to the Selected list, and click Add.
Note: You can add only users or groups, or roles in this action. You cannot mix the three principals.
The Permissions panel displays a tree list, containing the permissions that can be granted or denied for Access Privileges and Functional Privileges.
6. In the tree list, select options as needed to assign Access Privileges and Functional Privileges.
Click
Grant for each privilege that is to be granted.
Click
Deny for each privilege that is to be denied.
Clear both options to neither explicitly grant or deny the privilege. Permissions will be determined from another source.
7. Click OK and then click Apply.
