APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Only members of the tw_admin group can access the /rest/bpm/wle/v1/epv/{epv_id}[?snapshotid={snapshotId}][&branchi d={branchId}] REST API. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Ensure that the user invoking the REST API is a member of the tw_admin group.
Problem summary
In an IBM Process Center environment, the process application's access control list (ACL) authorization is in place for the /rest/bpm/wle/v1/epv REST API. In a runtime IBM Process Server environment, only members of the tw_admin group can access the /rest/bpm/wle/v1/epv REST API.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available that introduces a configurable property, <enforce-authorization-check-for-ps-model-data>. When you use this configurable property, you can allow non tw_admin users to access the REST API. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR55958: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR55958, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
