Understanding authentication roles and user roles
Authentication is the mechanism that allows us to manage access to different pages and data in an application. VB itself creates two default authentication roles, namely, anonymous user and authenticated user:
- Anonymous user: This authentication role is assigned to all users who access the anonymous-enabled application.
- Authenticated user: This authentication role is assigned to all users who log in to the application. All the users in this role can manage all the components and Business Objects unless access is disabled for this role. All developers have this role by default.
In addition to these two roles, you can create custom roles in VB and assign authenticated users to fine-tune access to the application resources such as pages, data, and so on.
You can enable either authentication access, anonymous access, or both to the application. By default, the user is assigned as either an anonymous user or authentication...
