Associating users with task manager roles (Oracle WebLogic Server)

After you configure and deploy an IBM® Content Navigator web application that includes the task manager component, you must associate users and groups with the predefined task manager roles.

About this task

The task manager application includes the following roles:

TaskAdmins: Users who are associated with this role can see and modify all of the tasks in the system.
TaskUsers: Users who are associated with this role can create tasks. They can also see and modify only the tasks that they create. They cannot see tasks created by other users.
TaskAuditors: Users who are associated with this role can see and modify all of the audit records in the system.

Procedure

To associate users with the task manager roles:

On the IBM Content Navigator sever, go to the configure/explodedformat/taskManager/weblogic subdirectory of the IBM Content Navigator installation directory.
Open the weblogic.xml file in a text editor.
Specify the users and groups that you want to associate with each role: The users and groups that you specify must be web application server users. If you use an LDAP server to manage your users, you can
1. To associate a user or group with the TaskAdmins role, edit the <wls:principal-name> entry that is associated with the <wls:role-name>TaskAdmins</wls:role-name> entry. For example,
```
<wls:security-role-assignment>
     <wls:role-name>TaskAdmins</wls:role-name>
     <wls:principal-name>User_or_group</wls:principal-name>
</wls:security-role-assignment>
```
  Important: You must create a new <wls:security-role-assignment> stanza for each user or group that you want to associate with the TaskAdmins role.
2. To associate a user or group with the TaskUsers role, edit the <wls:principal-name> entry that is associated with the <wls:role-name>TaskUsers</wls:role-name> entry. For example,
```
<wls:security-role-assignment>
     <wls:role-name>TaskUsers</wls:role-name>
     <wls:principal-name>User_or_group</wls:principal-name>
</wls:security-role-assignment>
```
  Important: You must create a new <wls:security-role-assignment> stanza for each user or group that you want to associate with the TaskUsers role.
3. To associate a user or group with the TaskAuditors role, edit the <wls:principal-name> entry that is associated with the <wls:role-name>TaskAuditors</wls:role-name> entry. For example,
```
<wls:security-role-assignment>
     <wls:role-name>TaskAuditors</wls:role-name>
     <wls:principal-name>User_or_group</wls:principal-name>
</wls:security-role-assignment>
```
  Important: You must create a new <wls:security-role-assignment> stanza for each user or group that you want to associate with the TaskAuditors role.
Save the changes to the weblogic.xml file.
