Access control

Access control refers to ensuring that an authenticated user has the permissions necessary to perform a specific operation.

When a user has authenticated themselves to the WebSphere ESB, it is important for security that not every possible operation is available to the user. Allowing some users to perform certain tasks, while denying these tasks to other users is termed access control.

Access control can be arranged for components that you develop to make them secure. This is achieved using service component architecture qualifiers at development time. For information about developing secured applications, see Developing secured applications.

The Common Event Infrastructure component application is installed with access control. You can secure its operation by using J2EE role-based security.
