Selecting role mappings

Global

The Global source is for defined global grid roles or for custom written mappings.

The defined list includes the default grid roles: grid-admin, grid-poweruser and grid-user. This list also includes the "authenticated" role, which includes anyone who has authenticated to the grid and has a valid active grid session.

The Custom field is a free text field where a user id or raw role can be added. Mappings to these free text items requires an exact match

Application

The Application source is for defined application roles or for custom application roles.

The defined application roles are a list of all the available roles for all grid applications used in the grid. For example, by doing this you can say that anyone who is an app-admin of application A can also be an app-admin of application B.

The Custom application mapping is done by selecting an application in the drop-down box and then entering a role in the free text field.

Session Provider

The Session Provider source uses the active session provider to get all the defined groups/roles in the user repository. The Defined list contains all the available groups/roles.

It is possible to filter the search using the Filter free text field and clicking the Update button.
