EAServer’s authorization model is based on roles, which are defined in EAServer Manager. Each role can include and exclude specific user names or digital IDs. If you use native operating system authentication, you can also include and exclude operating system group names; all users in the specified group are affected.
Roles are attached to EAServer packages and components. A package or component’s role controls access as follows:
If any roles are assigned to a package, the user must have all of these roles to use any component in the package.
If any roles are assigned to a component, the user must have all of these roles to use the component.
If roles are assigned to both a component and the package that contains it, the user must have all of the roles that are assigned to the package and component.
You must either refresh or restart EAServer for any role changes to take effect.
