User-Defined Permissions and Roles

Topics:

This section describes how to configure the user-defined permissions and roles.

User-defined permissions enable an application to validate authority to perform an action in a flow. In a process flow or an agent configuration, an iFL statement can check for the presence of the named permission and take action accordingly.

For example, permissions can be assigned to a role that allows a specific source of message (which contains its own credentials that are validated through the XDPrincipal agent) to take action in the flow depending on the permission assigned to the credentials.
