Security role to user and group mappings

Use this page to map security roles to users. You can map roles to specific users, to specific groups, or to different categories.

To view this administrative console page, click Application > Install New Application. While running the Application Installation Wizard, prompts appear to help you map security roles to users or groups. To change role to user or group mappings for deployed applications, click Application > Enterprise Application > deployed_application > Map security roles to users/groups.

Users
Specifies the users for role mapping. Verify that the users are defined in your chosen user registry.

To change the roles to users mapping, click Manage Application > application > Map security roles to users.

Data type: String
Groups
Specifies the groups for role mapping. Verify that the groups are defined in your chosen user registry.

To change the roles to users mapping, click Manage Application > application > Map security roles to groups.

Data type: String
Roles
Specifies the roles to which you want to map users and groups. Role privileges give users and groups permission to run as specified.
