APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Only members of the tw_admin group may access the /rest/bpm/wle/v1/processAppSettings?snapshotId={snapshotId}&bran chId={branchId}&processAppId={processAppId}&recurse=false REST API. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
Invoke the REST API as a user who is a member of the tw_admin group.
Problem summary
On an IBM Process Center environment, the process application's access control list (ACL) authorization applies to the /rest/bpm/wle/v1/processAppSettings REST API. By default, only members of the tw_admin group may access this REST API on a runtime IBM Process Server environment.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.6 that introduces a configurable property (<enforce-authorization-check-for-ps-model-data>) that allows non tw_admin users to access the /rest/bpm/wle/v1/processAppSettings?snapshotId={snapshotId}&bran chId={branchId}&processAppId={processAppId}&recurse=false REST API.
