Note – Users and groups are designated for the entire Enterprise Server, whereas each application defines its own roles. When the application is being packaged and deployed, theapplication specifies mappings between users/groups and roles, as illustrated in the followingfigure. Users A user is an in...

Roles A role defines which applications and what parts of each application users can access and what they can do. In other words, roles determine users' authorization levels. For example, in a personnel application all employees might have access to phone numbers andemail addresses, but only manager...

In the JDBC realm, the server gets user credentials from a database. The Enterprise Server uses the database information and the enabled JDBC realm option in the configuration file.
