Service ACL Service 

Use

The service ACL service administers service ACLs.

Service ACLs enable repository services to assign service-specific permissions to users, groups, or roles. Service ACLs work just like standard Framework ACLs (read, write, delete, and so on), and are maintained in the same way as standard ACLs, but the supported permissions are specific to particular services.

 

Integration

To enable a repository service to use service ACLs, the service ACL service must be registered with the relevant repository.

 

You registered the status management service with a repository. To be able to give certain users the permission to change the approver list for a folder in that repository you must also register the service ACL service.

The status management service is actually a special case insofar as it requires the service ACL service as a prerequisite. Other repository services require the service ACL service to be able to assign certain permissions, but can also be used without it.

 

Features

The security manager configuration acl_jdbc_service is specified in the standard delivery for the service ACL service.
