Removing Resources from a Security Realm
As a system administrator, when you manage permissions, as described in Managing Permissions for an Individual Resource, you do so one resource at a time. This method is satisfactory for small servers, but can be cumbersome as the number of pages and users increases. Security realms enable system administrators to manage permissions for resources based on users, groups, or roles, making it easier to manage large servers. After a Security realm is applied to a resource, individually set permissions do not apply unless you specifically choose to set them.
For convenience, you can organize Security realms into folders called containers. The following table lists the Security realm containers that My webMethods Server provides by default:
Container
Security realms
Forum Realms
Security Realms that manage permissions for forums.
My webMethods Security Realms
Security Realms that manage permissions for My webMethods resources.
Portal Resources
Security Realms that manage permissions for My webMethods Server resources
You can create, rename, and remove containers on the Security Realms Administration page.
There are several default security realms that manage permissions for My webMethods Server resources, all of which reside in the Portal Resources container. System administrators have the right to read, modify, or delete the server resources. Other users have permissions, described in the following table:
