Applies to Web administrative console of Advanced Single Server Edition Version 4.0
Applies to Application Client Resource Configuration Tool
The following three options can be selected in any combination. See below
for important usage notes.
-
Everyone
- Grants anyone and everyone the access to the role. This choice
basically provides no security protection.
-
All Authenticated Users
- Grants users who are authenticated access to the resource.
-
Select Users/Groups
- Grants users or groups whom you select access to the role.
Generally, it is
preferable to grant groups rather than individual users access to a role. It is
easier to manage roles mapped to groups because there are typically fewer
groups than users, users can be added to or removed from groups outside of
WebSphere, and the authorization table has fewer entries, which can
improve performance.
- If "Everyone" is selected then any other selections will be ignored.
- If "All authenticated users" is selected, but "Everyone" is not, then
"Select users/groups" will be ignored.
- When "Select users/groups" is selected, the search button can be used to select
users and groups using a pattern.
For better performance, avoid using general wildcard search (* for example)
if the target registry contains a large number of users or groups. Currently,
only the first 1000 users and the first 1000 groups will be displayed.
The display name is attached to the security name in the "Available Users/Groups" panel.
