Security Roles in Web and Portlet Applications
A security role is a standard J2EE concept for determining who can have access to a site, a page, or a control on a page. Security roles identify My webMethods Server groups, roles. and users, and define permissions to view or modify resources in an application.
When designing the user interface for a web or portlet application, you can define security roles for the users of the application according to your organization's security policies. In Composite Application Framework, you can define application and portlet security roles to implement role-based security.
Security roles also provide a means of binding a functional privilege contained in a task to a control. In this case, the security role has no direct relationship to any My webMethods Server user role. In this way, you can specify if the control is rendered, disabled, or read-only, depending on the user’s security role.
