UME Actions in the Portal 

Use

UME actions are the User Management Engine (UME) equivalent of portal permissions. Unlike portal permissions, they group together sets of permissions. The User Management Engine verifies that users have the appropriate UME actions assigned to them before granting them access to UME iViews and functions. All other portal services do not use UME actions.

Integration

In the portal, you can assign UME actions to roles in the Role Editor. Each UME action is listed as a property in the Property Editor for roles and you can set each action to Yes or No. For more information on changing role properties, see Defining and Changing the Properties of Roles and Worksets.

You can assign more than one action to a role. For example, if you assign the actions UME.Delegated_Admin and UME.Manage_Groups to a role, users assigned to that role can perform delegated-user-administration tasks such as creating and approving company users and, in addition, can manage groups.

For a list of the standard UME actions, see Standard UME Actions.

If applications that use UME actions are running in the portal, the UME actions defined by these applications are automatically displayed in the Role Editor as well.
