Can read only access be granted websphere 7 admin console?


How can I grant read only access to the admin console for websphere 7 what are the settings?


Solution

  • You need to map the user to the appropriate Administrative role. In this case, you probably need to map the user to the "monitor" role.

    Monitor- An individual or group that uses the monitor role has the least amount of privileges. A monitor can complete the following tasks:

    • View the WebSphere Application Server configuration.
    • View the current state of the Application Server

    . To make the change using admin console:

    • Login to the admin console as Administrator user.
    • Click on "Users and Groups"
    • Click on "Administrative user roles"
    • Click on "Add" Select the Role from the list and search the user who should be assigned this role. Move the user to "Mapped to role".
    • Save the configuration and the user should be able to login in with assigned privileges.
