Application roles
Use the Roles portlet to view and manage the roles for the members of a composite application. From the drop-down menu of an application page, click Manage Application Roles. Use the Members portlet to add users to the membership list of the application and assign them roles. From the drop-down menu of an application page, click Assign Application Members to display the Members portlet.
Applications membership roles that are defined in the application template propagate to instances of composite applications that are created from the template. Application membership roles provide levels of user access to the application and its pages, and the components of the application. Roles are then assigned to individuals and groups who are members or public users of the application.
If you have permission to edit applications, you can use the Roles portlet of the application to create and edit the roles that you will assign to application members.
If you have permission to manage the membership of an application, you can use the Members portlet to add users to the membership list, assign them roles, manage members, and restrict application access to members only or make the application available to all authenticated users. Application members appear to each other in the Members portlet with the roles assigned to them. If you have given all authenticated users access to the application as public users, then these nonmembers are also listed in the Members portlet.
For more information about working with roles and access settings for a particular application, see the Help topics that are available after you select Manage Application Roles from the menu of the application page.
