Default access roles [Settings]

This pane shows the role type assignments for the default access.

To view this page in the console, click the following path:

  • Service integration -> Buses -> security_value -> [Authorization Policy] Manage default access roles.

    security_value is either Enabled if messaging security is enabled, or Disabled if messaging security is not enabled.

    This pane displays users and groups that have been assigned access roles for the default resource. Use this pane to add users and groups to the appropriate default role or roles, and to manage users and groups that have already been assigned role types for the default resource. Adding a user or group to any of the default roles grants the user or group the authorization permissions for that role for all the local destinations allowed to inherit defaults.

    The information for each user and group is contained within a section that we can expand and collapse.

    Security access roles

    In the administrative 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:

    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

    .

    Role type not set for a group. The group to which a user belongs does not have a role type. Read only.

    Role type set for a group. The group to which a user belongs has a role type. Read only.
