EJB User Role Properties

You can define access roles for the EJB layer in order to assign multiple security permissions to a user or web client at once. EJB roles can be used to secure MIDM users and other clients accessing the master index application, such as web services. Roles are defined in an XML file, security.xml. The following table describes the elements of the security configuration file. The default user, MasterIndex.Admin, is not defined in this file, but it gives access to all functions.
