Securing access to timetables in the Business Calendars widget
The Security Roles widget provides you with the ability to secure access to individual timetables in the Business Calendars widget. You use the Security Roles widget to assign roles to the members of an organization. It is these roles that determine the level of access to the timetables.
The Security Roles widget, which you use to administer role-based access control for the Business Calendars widget, is located in Business Space powered by WebSphere®.
This role-based access is based on XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup Language), an open standard.
- You can control access to a specific instance of a timetable.
For example, you can specify that a user has access only to the user's own timetable and that the user does not have the ability to look at or change anyone else's timetable.
- Controlling access is done at the role level, instead of the individual
user level.
You map members to roles. It is the role that defines the permission members have to the specific instance of the resource.
Using the Security Roles widget, you can assign a user or group to the system roles. You can also assign a user or group to the component roles associated with timetables.
