Foreign bus [Settings]
This pane shows the role type assignments for the selected foreign buses.
To view this page in the console, click the following path:
Service integration -> Buses -> security_value -> [Authorization Policy] Manage foreign bus access roles -> foreign_bus_name > Manage access roles.
In the path, security_value is either Enabled if messaging security is enabled, or Disabled if messaging security is not enabled.
This panel lists the users and groups that have been assigned access roles on the one or more selected foreign buses. Use this panel to add and remove users and groups to foreign bus access roles, and to manage existing role type assignments and inheritance for foreign buses.
The information for each foreign bus is contained within a section that we can expand and collapse. When collapsed, the section header displays the foreign bus name. When expanded, in addition to the header, the section displays an Inherit from default check box and a list of the users and groups that have been assigned role types on the foreign bus. Note that the only permitted role type for a foreign bus is Sender role.

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

if the user
or group does not inherit access roles, or to role type inherited
