6.6.18.1.a.3: Selecting users and groups for roles with the Java administrative console

Use the Role Mapping tab of the Security Center wizard to assign users or groups to a particular role. Different roles can have different security authorizations. Mapping users or groups to a role authorizes those users or groups to access applications defined by the role.

Users, groups and roles are defined when an application is installed or configured.

Assigning a large number of users or groups (greater than 5000) to a role may fail in the Security Center.

When possible, assign roles to groups. Typically, there are fewer groups than users. Also, this improves performance during server startup and authorization check.

Mapping users or groups to roles

The administrator maps a user or group as follows:

  1. In the Role Mapping tabbed pane, the administrator selects an application.
  2. Click Edit Mapping to open the Role Mapping dialog.
  3. In the Role Mapping dialog, the administrator selects a role and clicks on Select to open the Select Users/Groups dialog.
  4. In the Select Users/Groups dialog, the administrator selects who is authorized access for the role.
  5. Click OK when finished mapping a user or group to a role.
  6. The administrator repeats the previous two steps for other roles or as needed.
  7. Click OK to exit the Role Mapping dialog.
  8. Click OK or Apply on the Security Center.
