RunAs roles for users [Collection]

You can map a specified user identity and password to a RunAs role. This mapping enables you to specify application-specific privileges for individual users, so that they can run specific tasks using another user identity.

The OSGi application that you are importing or updating contains predefined RunAs roles. RunAs roles are used by applications that need to run as a particular role for recognition when interacting with another application.

To view this panel in the administrative console, click one of the following paths:
  • Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > [Deployed assets] Add > Add Asset > asset_name > Wizard step: Map RunAs roles to users
  • Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > composition_unit_name > [Additional Properties] RunAs roles for users
Note: The Map RunAs roles to users wizard step and the RunAs roles for users property are visible only if the application uses RunAs roles.
Username
Specifies a user name for the RunAs role user.

This user already maps to the role specified in the Security role to user or group mapping [Settings] panel. You can map the user to the appropriate role by either mapping the user to that role directly or mapping a group that contains the user to that role. After you specify the user name and password for the user and select a RunAs role, click Apply.

Password
Specifies the password for the RunAs user.
Role
Maps specific capabilities to a user.

The authorization policy is enforced only when global security is enabled.
