6.6.1.0.1.a: Assembly properties for security roles (application)

A security role is a logical grouping of principals. Access to operations (such as EJB methods) is controlled by granting access to a role.

Role Name (Required, String)
Specifies the name of a security role that is unique to the application.

Description
Contains a description of the security role.

Binding -- Groups -- Name
Specifies user groups that are granted the security role.

Binding -- Users -- Name
Specifies users that are granted the security role.

Binding -- Special Subjects -- Name
Specifies one of two special categories of users to which roles can be granted: Everyone or All authenticated users. If the special subject Everyone is granted a role, then all users, including those who did not authenticate, are granted the role. In other words, a method on an enterprise bean or a URI is unprotected if any of the required roles for that method are granted to the special subject Everyone. In the case of All authenticated users, any user who can authenticate by using a valid user ID and password is considered to be granted that role.
