Topic [Settings]

This pane displays the role type assignments for a topic. Use this pane to add new assignments, and to modify and remove existing assignments.

To view this pane in the console...

Service integration > Buses > security_value > [Authorization Policy] Manage topic access roles > topic_space_name > topic_name. In the path, security_value is either Enabled if messaging security is enabled, or Disabled if messaging security is not enabled.

This pane lists users and groups that have been assigned role types on the selected topic. The permitted access roles for topics are sender and receiver. Use this panel to view existing topic role assignments, add new users and groups to topic access roles, and remove users and groups from topic access roles. The information for the selected topic is contained within a section that we can expand to display all the users and groups that have been assigned role types for the topic. The following options are available:

Inherit sender role from parent topic

Select the check box if you want the topic to inherit sender role assignments from the parent topic.

Inherit receiver role from parent topic

Select the check box if you want the topic to inherit receiver role assignments from the parent topic.

Security access roles

In the admin console, access role icons are used to represent whether a user or a group is in a particular access role. We can click an icon to add or remove selected users and groups to a particular access role for a selected resource. An access role icon has three states:

• Access role type set.

• Access role type not set.

• Access role type inherited from group.

The following table describes how the access role icons represent these states, and how to change between them:

Table 1. Interacting with access role icons

Access role icon	Access role assignment state	User action
	Role type not set.	Click to change to role type set .
	Role type set.	Click to change to role type not set. The icon changes to role type not set if the user or group does not inherit access roles, or to role type inherited if the role type does inherit access roles.
	Role type inherited from group.	Click to change to role type set .
