Support for client user roles

WSRR provides support for user-defined roles, so that you can control access to WSRR and its content.

Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) roles

WSRR uses J2EE roles defined in WebSphere® Application Server to distinguish between administrative functions and typical service metadata management functions. These roles control access to the programming interface operations.

Access control roles

WSRR provides a role-based access control that can integrate with the enterprise user directory (through WebSphere Application Server security). The client-defined roles of significance can be defined by policies based on directory groups or other subject properties.

Dashboard roles

The dashboard can be configured to allow certain roles to have access to certain views. These views reflect the actions that users in that role typically perform.

User interface perspectives

The WSRR web UI provides the ability to be configured according to user perspectives. A user's role defines the permitted perspectives that are displayed in the web UI thus allowing the user experience to be personalized according to user's role.

Default lifecycle roles

WSRR comes with a default governance lifecycle and access controls to support this lifecycle. The roles supported for this are:

• WSRRAdmin
• WSRRUser
