Permission Reference
Business Console users require access and functional privileges for Task Engine, and the Access Control List (ACL) privileges for Integration Server and Monitor.
Important:
A user must be a member of the My webMethods Users role to log into Business Console.
Users in the My webMethods administrator role can grant or deny access privileges and functional privileges for users, groups, or roles. User permissions for a resource type are set in the Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Permissions Management page in My webMethods.
Use:
Resource type permissions to define which resource type a user, group, or role can manage.
Access privileges to define what a user, group, or role can view.
Functional privileges to define what a user, group, or role can modify. Without the appropriate access privileges, the functional privileges are of no use.
Note:
You must re-login to Business Console, if any permission is changed.
The sections below list the access privileges, functional privileges, and resource type permissions a user requires for Task Engine to perform operations in Business Console. For more information about setting ACLs and user permissions, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide, webMethods Task Engine User’s Guide, and webMethods Monitor User’s Guide.
