UDDI Services Roles

UDDI Services Roles

UDDI Services contains four roles that define the level of interaction that each user is allowed.

User An individual who can only query UDDI Services for Web service information. Any partner or organization with whom you would like to share your Web services data must be part of, at minimum, the User group.

Publisher An individual who can query and publish in UDDI Services . A Publisher can add entities to UDDI Services or modify any of the entities that they own.

Coordinator An individual who can query, publish, and configure data in the UDDI Services Web-based user interface. In addition to Publisher user rights, a Coordinator can view and modify any data stored in UDDI Services, change entity ownerships, import categorization schemes, and generate and view statistical reports.

Administrator An individual who can query, publish, coordinate, and administer UDDI Services. In addition to Coordinator user rights for the Web-based user interface, an Administrator can administer service options, manage security settings, perform backups, and carry out other administrative tasks at the system level by using the UDDI Services Web user interface and Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in and command line tools.

Your user name and role are displayed in the upper-right corner of the UDDI Services Web interface.
