Adding Event Roles to a Deployed Application

Procedure

  1. Access the eventRoles.xml file using the Configuration Administrator.
  2. Add a <Privilege/> element for the new role. For information about what to include in the element’s attributes, see Mapping Privileges to Event Roles.
  3. Click Apply.

    A directory of the same name is dynamically added under the Event Roles directory in the left pane of the Configuration Administrator. It adds the event configuration files for the newly added role to the database by copying the event configuration files from the default directory shown in the left pane (note that it actually copies the files from the default directory on the file system, not from the database if you had previously accessed the default configuration files, which would have caused them to be written to the database).

    This allows you to add roles via configuration (i.e., without requiring a re-deployment).

  4. You can now configure each of the individual event configuration files for the new role by accessing those files in the newly created event role directory in the left pane of the Configuration Administrator.
