Disabling topic role inheritance

Service integration bus security uses role-based authorization. When messaging security, and topic level security are enabled, users and groups require access in the sender and receiver roles to access a topic in a publish/subscribe topic hierarchy. By default, topics inherit these roles from the parent topic. If you do not want topics to inherit topic roles from the parent topic in the topic hierarchy, you can override topic role inheritance by using the administrative console.
