Access Privileges and Functional Privileges
Two important ways in which permissions are used in My webMethods are Access Privileges and Functional Privileges.
Privilege type | Description |
Access Privileges | The rights of a user, group, or role to view applications and features in the Navigation panel and access pages associated with them in My webMethods. The granting of Access Privileges, by itself, allows only the capability to view. |
Functional Privileges | The rights of a user, group, or role to make changes within an application or feature, such as to create and modify a workspace. The granting of Functional Privileges is meaningless unless Access Privileges are also granted. |
The list of Access Privileges and Functional Privileges is determined by which webMethods applications are installed. Both the My webMethods administrator and the system administrator can grant or deny these privileges for users, groups, or roles.
Tip:
If you need to set the same set of privileges for multiple users, groups, and roles, you should consider aggregating all of them into a single role.
To manage Access Privileges and Functional Privileges
1. To navigate to the correct page, do one of the following:
In
My webMethods:
Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Permissions Management.
As system administrator:
Administration Dashboard > Configuration > Permissions Management.
2. On the Search panel, from the Resource Type list, choose webMethods Applications.
By default, My webMethods applications are already in the Selected list.
3. Click Next.
4. On the Edit Permissions panel, click Add Users/Groups/Roles, search for users, groups or roles, move them to the Selected list, and click Add.
Note:
You can add only users or groups or roles in this action. You cannot mix the three types.
The Permissions panel is displayed, showing a tree list containing the permissions that can be granted or denied for Access Privileges and Functional Privileges.
5. In the tree list, select options as needed to assign Access Privileges and Functional Privileges.
Click
Grant for each privilege that is to be granted.
Click
Deny for each privilege that is to be denied.
Clear both options to neither explicitly grant or deny the privilege. Permissions will be determined from another source.
6. Click OK and then click Apply.
