Configuring security for case management solutions

You can assign permissions to different users, groups, and roles to determine the areas and objects of a solution in a Content Cortex object store that these users can access. A set of permissions is called a security configuration.

The Case administration client provides a wizard that can help you to create, modify, delete, and apply a basic security configuration for your solution. If your solution requires more complex permissions than the defaults that are provided by the wizard, you can also customize the permissions in the wizard.

Some environments have specific or rigorous security requirements. If the security requirements for your environment cannot be met by customizing the security wizard, you can also use the Content Cortex security tools to set permissions manually on individual case objects.

Security for running work items that are associated with task objects in the target object store are configured with service groups along with security on queues and rosters. For more information related to IBM®® Business Automation Workflow security roles and groups, see Security roles and groups.
