To configure task access permissions

Procedure

  1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide> Permissions Management.
  2. On the Advanced tab, select Tasks in the Resource Type list.
  3. Select a filter you want to apply in the Filter list, or leave the box empty.
  4. Click Search. All matching task types are displayed in the Found panel.
  5. In the Found panel, select the tasks you want to set permissions for and move them to the Selected panel.
  6. Click Next.
  7. In the Edit Permissions panel, do one of the following:
    • Select an existing principal and click Delete to remove it from the list of available principals.
    • Click Add Users/Groups/Roles to open the Add Principals panel, enabling you to search for and all any available user, role, or group to the list of available principals.
  8. Click the link in the Permissions column for the principal that you want to set permissions for. The text for this link can display either of these values:
    • Granted All—the principal has been granted all available permissions.
    • Custom—One or more of the available permissions is denied to the principal.
    Important: Clearing the Grant check box is not sufficient to deny the permission. You must explicitly select the Deny check box to ensure the permission is denied.
