Component Interface Permissions page
Field or Control Description

Method

Displays each method created within the component interface.

Method Access

Select from these two types of authorization:

Full Access: The method is authorized.

No Access: The method is not authorized.

Full Access (All)

Grants full access to all scripts listed on the page.

No Access (All)

Denies access to all scripts listed on the page.

You grant access to component interfaces similarly to adding page access. Add a new row to insert a component interface into the definition list. You must also grant access to the component interface methods.

After adding a new permission to a component, you must delete the web server cache for users to access the component through the portal. To delete the web server cache, reboot the web server.

Note:

If more than one JVM services the web server, then rebooting the web server only purges the in-memory cache. No procedure exists to specify which JVM receives the request. For this reason, you must reboot all JVMs that service the web server.
