Limitations to Subscription Access

When working with subscriptions in My webMethods, a user can be granted the Subscribe to a Task functional permission. This enables the user to manage task subscriptions on the Task Subscription page, which is an embedded component in My Inbox. The user accesses the Task Subscriptions page from either of two locations:

A Subscriptions link located in the Task Results window of the custom task inbox.

A user must have access permissions to My Inbox to manage subscriptions from either location. If a user is granted permission to the custom task inbox, but does not have access permission to My Inbox, when the user clicks the Subscriptions link in the custom task inbox, the error message “You are not authorized to view the resource” occurs.

Note:
This behavior also applies to the Scheduled Delegations link. For more information, see Limitations to Scheduled Delegation Access.

There are several ways to address this situation:

You can provide the user with My Inbox access permission. Doing so will enable access to all aspects of My Inbox, not just subscription management.

You can set the Rendered property of the subscription portlet simple link control to false (or remove the control entirely) on the Default view of the task Inbox Results portlet. This will remove the Subscriptions link from the custom task inbox display. The user will have no access to subscription management.

You can copy the existing Task Subscription portlet included in My Inbox and create and publish your own custom subscription page for the user to access. To access the default subscription page, log in to My webMethods as sysadmin and navigate to the page by either of these methods:

By clicking Folders > My webMethods Applications > Fabric Tasks > Monitoring > Business > Tasks > My Inbox.

You can then modify the custom task inbox Subscription link to point to the custom page you created and published.
