Permission Reference
Business Console users require access and functional privileges for Task Engine, and the ACL privileges for Integration Server and Monitor.
Important: | A user must be a member of the My webMethods Users role to log into Business Console. |
Users in the My webMethods administrator role can grant or deny access privileges and functional privileges for users, groups, or roles. User permissions for a resource type are set in the Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Permissions Management page in My webMethods.
Use:
Resource type permissions to define which resource type a user, group, or role can manage.
Access privileges to define what a user, group, or role can view.
Functional privileges to define what a user, group, or role can modify. Without the appropriate access privileges, the functional privileges are of no use.
Note: | You must re-login to Business Console, if any permission is changed. |
