About this task

To add a task functional privilege

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the functional privileges editor as described in Viewing Task Functional Privileges.

    You can add a privilege in one of three ways:

    • By adding it directly under the task name (that is, without a container).
    • By adding it to an existing privilege container in the task.
    • By creating a new container within the task and adding the privilege there.

      For more information about containers, see About Privilege Containers.

  2. In the Functional Privileges list, click the task name, or the name of a container within the task. Click Add Privilege.
  3. In the New Functional Privilege dialog box, specify the following:
    Value Description
    Identifier A globally unique identification string for the privilege. As this value is used to programmatically identify the privilege, consider using a format that can be easily used within the programming environment. For example, if the name of the privilege is "Modify Purchase Order," create an ID such as "modify.purchase.order".
    Name Your public name for the privilege. This name is displayed in the functional privileges editor and identifies the privilege in My webMethods.
    Description Your description of the privilege. This value appears only in the functional privileges editor; it does not appear in My webMethods.
  4. Click Finish to add the functional privilege to the list.
  5. Although the procedure above creates a new privilege within the task, it has no functionality associated with it. You must modify a task view to link the privilege with a security role and then provide a binding between the role and one or more controls on the portlet view design canvas.
