How to Determine and Set Event Writer Roles for Activities

  • Artikkeli

BAM provides two modes of security when writing events on activities. You can grant permissions to write events on individual activities or you can grant permissions to write events on all deployed activities.

Activity-level security is provided by activity event writer roles that are created when you deploy a BAM definition. For example, if you deploy a definition for an activity named CreditCard, BAM creates an event writer role named bam_CreditCard_EventWriter. This role has permissions to write events for the activity. To grant a user permissions to write events for the activity, you add the user to the role.

Alternatively, you can grant users rights to write eve2nts to all activities by adding them to the super role BAM_EVENT_WRITER, which has permissions to write to all activities.

Prerequisites

To perform this procedure, you must have the following:

  • A connection to BAMPrimaryImportDb on which the activity is deployed.

  • DBO permissions on the database.

To add a user to an event writer role

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

  2. In the Connect to SQL Server dialog box, select the SQL Server and the appropriate authentication method, and then click Connect.

  3. In the Object Explorer pane expand Databases, and then select the BAM Primary Import database.

  4. Click the New Query icon on the toolbar.

  5. Copy the following commands and paste them into the Query Window. Replace the domain name, user name, and activity name placeholders with the appropriate values.

    EXEC sp_grantlogin '<domain name>\<user name>’  
EXEC sp_grantdbaccess '<domain name>\<user name>', 'ActivityLogin'  
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'bam_<activity name>_EventWriter', 'SpecialLogin'

    Important

    Role names are case-sensitive. Activity names are also case-sensitive, that is, they must match the case used when deploying the activity.

  6. Click the Execute icon on the toolbar or press F5 to run the commands.

To add a user to an event writer super role
