2.7 Access control concepts

WebSphere Commerce views access control as the process of verifying that users or applications have sufficient authority to access a resource. This section describes the details of several aspects of WebSphere Commerce access control.

Access control in WebSphere Commerce is accomplished using access control policies. An access control policy is a rule that describes which group of users can perform a set of actions on a set of resources. WebSphere Commerce provides a set of default access control policies. These default access control policies are specified in XML format and are designed to address many of the typical access control requirements that an e-commerce site needs.

To understand the access control component of WebSphere Commerce, first understand the typical organizational hierarchy of an e-commerce site.
