Permissions required for the new object store

When you create a new external object store, permissions are required for IBM® FileNet® Content Manager users to work with IBM Business Automation Workflow.

If you followed the instructions in Configuring an existing external Content Platform Engine, you have the correct permissions on the new external object store. However, if users are experiencing problems that indicate they do not have the correct permissions, or if you add a user, use the following information to set the permissions correctly for the FileNet Content Manager administrative user and for all FileNet Content Manager users.

To work with Business Automation Workflow, the administrative user requires these permissions:
  • CONNECT
  • MODIFY_OBJECTS
  • PRIVILEGED_WRITE
  • READ_ACL
  • REMOVE_OBJECTS
  • STORE_OBJECTS
  • WRITE_ACL
  • WRITE_ANY_OWNER

An access mask in FileNet Content Manager defines the operations that a user is allowed to use. The access mask corresponding to these permissions is 838205440.

All other users require these permissions:

  • CONNECT
  • MODIFY_OBJECTS
