Restrict who can see the flow chart view

By default, users who can view a flow or flow definition in Flow Manager can see everything about the flow: the flow chart, general information, subflows and jobs, flow data, and flow history.

In some cases, however, you may not want users to see the chart view of a flow.

It is possible to restrict viewing the chart view of a flow and flow definition, to only the Process Manager administrator and users who are both the flow definition owner and flow owner.

This restriction takes effect in Flow Manager and IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center. In Flow Manager, if the user does not have permission to see the flow chart, the related menu items will be grayed out. In IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center, if the user does not have permission to see the flow chart, it will not be visible in the interface.

To restrict who can see the flow chart view:

  1. Set the parameter JS_LIMIT_FLOW_CHART_VIEW=true in js.conf.
  2. Restart the Process Manager Server.
