Mapping MTS Roles to Users and Groups

When you install and deploy your application, you must map Windows NT users and groups to any existing roles. Roles determine user access for components and interfaces.

To assign users to roles:

  1. In the left pane of the Explorer, select the package that contains the component to which you want to assign roles.

  2. Open the Roles folder.

  3. Double-click the role to which you want to assign users.

  4. Open the Users folder.

  5. On the Action menu, click New. You can also select the Users folder and click the Create new object button, or right-click the Users folder and select New and then Users.

  6. In the dialog box that appears, add user names or groups to the role. You can use the Show Users and Search buttons to locate a user account.

  7. Click OK.
