Adding a Rule-Based Role
Adding a Database Role
My webMethods Server administrators can create different types of user roles. My webMethods Server uses all roles, regardless of type, in the same manner, but role membership is identified differently for each type.
The following table describes the types of roles you can create and how to identify role membership for each role type:
Role
Identifying Membership
Static Role
Specify a collection of users, group, and roles that are members of the role you are creating. The membership of the role does not change unless you manually edit the role and change its membership. For more information, see Adding a Static Role.
Note:
This is similar to a group except that role membership can span multiple directory services.
LDAP Query Role
Specify an LDAP query. The users, groups, and roles that match the query become members of the role. The membership of the role is dynamic based on the outcome of the query at run time. For more information, see Adding an LDAP Query Role.
Rule Based Role
Specify a rule that My webMethods Server executes to determine the membership. The users, groups, and roles that match the rule become members of the role. The membership of the role is dynamic based on the outcome of the execution of the rule at run time. For more information, see Adding a Rule-Based Role.
Database Role
Specify a query for a database directory service. The users, groups, and roles that match the query become members of the role. The membership of the role is dynamic based on the outcome of the query at run time. For more information, see Adding a Database Role.
