About this task

To add a task assignment security role to a task

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the portlet editor and click the Security Roles listing for the task portlet you want to work with (for more information, see Viewing Task Security Roles).
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Create Security Role Reference dialog box, specify the following:
    Value Description
    Portlet This value is provided automatically as the name of the selected task portlet.
    Role Name Your public name for the security role. This name must exactly match a corresponding user role in My webMethods, if the user role already exists. If you have not yet created this user role in My webMethods, be sure to use this exact name if you create it in My webMethods manually. When a task application containing a security role is published to IBM My webMethods Server, IBM My webMethods Server will create a corresponding user role if one does not already exist.
    Role Link Do not add any functional privilege links to a task assignment role; doing so will prevent the role from being selected when you create the action expression for the associated assignment rule.
    Description Your description of the security role. These value are used during run-time; you can specify different locales, and a text description for each locale. Click Add to add a new entry to the table.
  4. Click Finish to add the security role to the portlet.

Results

Although the procedure above creates a new security role within the task portlet, it has no functionality associated with it. You must include the security role in an action rule expression for an assignment rule.
Tip: You can also add a security role from the Bindings view. First, open any portlet view in the view editor. In the Bindings view, right click the Managed Beans > [TaskName]View entry and click Add > Security Role. The security role you create is added to the portlet that contains the view in the view editor.
