About User Access
Access to functions in Openspace is controlled by system actions. System actions are actions that need to be authorized, or need to be restricted to users with a certain level of authority. These actions might include, for example, re-allocating work items, skipping work items, viewing another user’s work list, or administering resources.
This authorization is implemented by associating system actions with privileges within the organization model that is built in TIBCO Business Studio. See TIBCO Business Studio Process Modeling User’s Guide for more information. Some Openspace functions are controlled by a single system action, some are controlled by multiple system actions, whereas some are uncontrolled.
At runtime, BPM maintains a list of system actions and of privileges, as defined in the organization model, and thus determines whether a user is authorized to carry out a particular action.
You must be logged in as a user that has privileges with the correct system actions assigned to them. If you do not have the correct privileges to use a particular function, an exception is displayed that includes an Authorization Failed message.
