Controlling access in Sametime Advanced Servers

You can control access in IBM® Sametime® Advanced at the application level or at the feature level.

About this task

You control access at the application level by editing the security role to user/group mappings in the Integrated Solutions Console. This is where you grant administrator privileges to other users, assign workflow approvers, and assign broadcast community creators. IBM does not recommend changing the authenticated user or the all user mappings.

You control access at the feature level by editing role settings in the broadcast communities, chat rooms, and folders.

Broadcast communities. Access to broadcast communities is determined by membership role and by broadcast type: public, private, restricted recipient, or restricted publisher.
Chat rooms. Access to chat rooms is determined by assigning roles to folders in the chat room folder hierarchy and by chat room owner/creaters.
