6.6.1.0.1.a: Assembly properties for security roles (application)
A security role is a logical grouping of principals. Access to
operations (such as EJB methods) is controlled by granting access to a
role.
- Role Name (Required, String)
- Specifies the name of a security role that is unique to the
application.
- Description
- Contains a description of the security role.
- Binding -- Groups -- Name
- Specifies user groups that are granted the security role.
- Binding -- Users -- Name
- Specifies users that are granted the security role.
- Binding -- Special Subjects -- Name
- Specifies one of two special categories of users to which roles can be
granted: Everyone or All authenticated users. If the special
subject Everyone is granted a role, then all users, including those who did
not authenticate, are granted the role. In other words, a method on an
enterprise bean or a URI is unprotected if any of the required roles for that
method are granted to the special subject Everyone. In the case of All
authenticated users, any user who can authenticate by using a valid user ID
and password is considered to be granted that role.
