Adding users and groups to foreign bus roles

Service integration bus security uses role-based authorization. When messaging security is enabled, users and groups require authority to send messages from a secured local bus destination to a secured foreign bus. By adding selected users and groups to the sender role for a selected foreign bus, you can control who has authority to send messages to the selected foreign bus.

1. Start the administrative console.
2. Click Service integration -> Buses -> security_value -> [Authorization Policy] Manage foreign bus access roles.
   A list of the foreign buses defined for the selected bus is displayed in the Foreign buses panel.
3. Select one or more foreign buses to work with:
   • Click a single foreign bus name.
   • Select the check boxes next to multiple foreign bus names, and then click Manage Access Roles.
   The Foreign bus access roles panel is displayed. The access roles information for each foreign bus you have selected is displayed in a collapsed section.
4. Expand a foreign bus header to list the users and groups that have been assigned to roles for this foreign bus.
   You can verify that the user or group you want to add does not already have a role for this foreign bus.
5. Click Add to start the Security wizard.
   The wizard takes you through the following steps to add selected users or groups to the sender role for the selected foreign bus:
   1. Search for the users or groups that you want to add to the sender role for the expanded foreign bus:
