Administering topic roles

Service integration bus security uses role-based authorization. When messaging security is enabled, users and groups require authority to access a topic in a publish/subscribe topic hierarchy. By adding and removing users and groups in topic roles, you can control access to the topic.

About this task

You use the administrative console to list, add and remove users and groups in the sender and receiver roles, and to define topic role inheritance. By default, a child topic inherits its topic roles from its parent topic. You can change the default roles for a particular topic by adding or removing topic roles at the topic level. You can also allow or block inheritance of topic roles at topic level.

You can add access roles for a topic before it exists. Topics are created at runtime only, and exist only for as long as they are active.
