Overview

To set security for composite applica tions...

Assign user access to application templates and template categories	Resource Permissions portlet
Create roles for application users	Roles portlet
Assign application users to membership roles	Members portlet

Access to work with application templates and composite applications is determined by the role types that set permissions for portal resources:

• Administrator
• Security Administrator
• Delegator
• Manager
• Editor
• Privileged User
• User

You assign access rights for application template categories and application templates by adding individuals and user groups to the role types using the Resource Permissions portlet. Access to composite applications is derived from portal access control settings and refined by the application membership roles that you create using the Roles portlet.

From the menu of an application page we can...

1. Assign Template Permissions

   Assign access for the application template using the Resources Permissions portlet.

2. Manage Roles

   Use the Roles portlet to create application membership roles defined by the template.

3. Manage Application Roles

   Use the Roles portlet to create and edit the application membership roles in the instance of the composite application.

   Membership roles are defined in the application template and propagated to instances of the composite application created from the template. The default membership roles for composite applications are...

   • Administrators
   • Users

   These predefined roles are the basis for all new roles that you create for application members.

4. Assign Application Members

   ...Use the Members portlet to add users to the application and assign them to membership roles.

5. Template access
   

   Use the Resource Permissions portlet to assign portal access roles to composite application templates, application template categories, and the application template root.

6. Application access
   

   Use the Members portlet to extend the permissions granted by portal access roles for composite application templates. Membership roles that you assign to application users provide access to the application and its components.
