UME Actions in the Portal

Use

The user management engine (UME) uses UME actions to enforce authorizations. An action is a collection of Java permissions that define which activities a user can perform. UME actions can be assigned to UME roles or portal roles. If a role with a UME action is assigned to a user, the user gains the authorizations provided by the action. The UME verifies that users have the appropriate UME actions assigned to them before granting them access to UME iViews and functions. Other applications can also define or check for actions.

The following table lists the UME actions assigned to portal roles by default.

Some UME actions are defined specifically for the portal environment:

• AclSuperUser

• Manage_Role_Assignments

• Remote_Producer_Read_Access

• Remote_Producer_Write_Access

For more information, see the following:

Integration

In the portal, you can assign and remove UME actions from portal roles with the identity management application.
