Class Role

java.lang.Object

flux.security.Role

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class Role
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Security role that grants or restricts access to different parts of engines in the cluster as well as the Operations Console.

All other privileges pertain to engines in the cluster only.

There are two predefined, built-in roles: Administrator and Flow Chart Master. An Administrator has all privileges, while a Flow Chart Master can perform typical "day-to-day" activities but no "administrative" activities. A newly instantiated Role object contains the same privileges as the built-in Flow Chart Master role.

Changing any information through this Role does not take effect until SecurityAdministrator.putRole() is called, which requires administrator privileges.
