Use this page to select and to map users, groups and special subjects for security roles.
Different roles can have different security authorizations. Mapping users or groups to a role authorizes those users or groups to access applications defined by the role. Users and groups are associated with roles defined in an application when the application is installed or configured. Use the Search pattern field to display users in the Available list. Click >> to add users from the Available list to the Selected list.
Lists the users that are mapped to the specified role within this application.
Lists the groups that are mapped to this specified role within this application.
This choice appears if multiple realms are being used. It enables you to map any of the following to selected roles:
If trusted realms are configured, a drop-down list of realms to search is displayed. Users from the non-default realm are displayed as user@realm.
It is not possible to map two subjects to the same role in this release of WebSphere® Application Server.
Specifies the maximum number of users or groups that can be returned when assigning users/groups to roles.
A value of 0 implies a return of all users or groups that match the pattern. You can either increase the limit or refine the search pattern to get all the entries.

Indicates the search pattern used to search for the entries in a user registry.
The Search string field contains the search pattern that is used to search for the user or group entries. For example, bob* will search all users or groups starting with bob. A limit of zero (0) retrieves all of the entries that match the pattern. Use a limit of zero (0) only when a small number users or groups match that pattern in the user registry. If the user registry contains more entries that match the pattern than requested for, a message shows in the administrative console to indicate that there are more entries in the user registry.
