Creating a role instance
After you create the role class, you use the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to create a role instance for the object store.
About this task
You use an instance of a security role to grant the access defined by the role to a specific set of users and groups. You can create an instance of your security role in the Data Design section of the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine.
Procedure
To create a role instance:
- In Administration Console for Content Platform Engine, navigate to the object store where you want to create the instance, expand the object store, and click Roles.
- Right click the type of role instance that you want to create, Dynamic or Static, and click New Role.
- Enter a value for the Display name, and choose the role class that is the basis for your new role instance.
-
On the Role Members tab, add role members.
You can add users and groups directly, add a realm, or add a nested role.
- Click Finish to save your role instance.
Results
- Includes the users and groups that the role class contains, plus any that were added specifically to the instance
- Grants the permissions to the specified classes (for example, Documents) that you configured on the role class
- Grants additional permissions that you specified for the instance. You can use the Role Access Definitions tab to specify additional permissions (access rights). For more information, see topic About access rights.
