User Access Controls

User access controls are used by the View Distributor application to control access to the distributed views.

The user access controles used are:

  • Administration > Configuration - This gives you access to the View Distributor application itself. This user access control can be used to control who can run the application.
  • WorkView - This gives you access to the list of work views that can be distributed.
  • ProcessView - This gives you access to the list of process views that can be distributed.
  • EventView - This gives you access to the list of event views that can be distributed.
  • OrganizationBrowser - This gives you access to the list of users, groups, and positions to which a view can be distributed.

Note that the View Distributor application does not contain its own userAccess.xml file to control user access. You must use the userAccess.xml file associated with the application that was used to create the views that you want to distribute.

If you are running the application from your local development environment, configure user access using the following file:

StudioHome\wcc\version\JSXAPPS\WCCProjectName\userAccess.xml

where:

  • StudioHome is the directory in which TIBCO Business Studio was installed.
  • version is the version number of Workspace that was installed with TIBCO Business Studio.
  • WCCProjectName is the name of the General Interface Builder project that contains your custom application. If you are working with the Workspace application, this is “workspace”.

If you are going to deploy the View Distributor application to a runtime node, then run it from there, configure user access using the Configuration Administrator from your application on the node (either the Workspace application, or a custom WCC application).

More information about running the View Distributor application from different locations is provided in Starting the View Distributor Application.

For information about configuring user access controls, see the “Configuring User Access” chapter in the TIBCO Workspace Configuration and Customization guide.
