Security considerations for administration

When WebSphere® Application Server global security is enabled, you can invoke the operations of the ServiceRegistryRepository MBean only if you are a user in a WebSphere Application Server administrative role.

The operations that make updates require the WebSphere Application Server Administrator or Operator role, whereas read operations can be performed by WebSphere Application Server Administrator, Operator, Configurator or Monitor roles.

With security enabled you must also provide additional security parameters when configuring the connection to the MBean.

The web UI provides a Configuration perspective for performing administration tasks. All members of the Administrator J2EE role can access and use the Configuration perspective.
