Unwired Accelerator uses role-based authorization. By default, Mobile Web Studio users can only see those objects for which they have the necessary roles. For example, if Application_1 is protected by Role_A, and a user is not assigned Role_A, when the user selects Build | Applications in Mobile Web Studio, Application_1 does not display in the Application Manager list of applications. This prevents users from previewing an application they are not allowed to see in Portal Interface or from a mobile device.
If an object is assigned several roles, a user needs
only one of the roles to access the object.
Several global properties determine how role-based authorization is implemented in Unwired Accelerator:
RoleBaseDisplay – indicates whether Mobile Web Studio should only display objects with the same role as the user. The default is “true,” indicating role-based filtering is used. If set to “false,” role-base filtering is disabled and users can see all objects in Mobile Web Studio regardless of role.
RoleBaseDisplaySeeAllRoles – indicates the user role or roles that can see all objects in Mobile Web Studio. The default role is “superuser.”
