Best practice to manage privilages in Webcon?

Is it possible to build an application that would grant permissions to other applications?

When you have several applications, how do you grant permissions for a new employee to each application?

Hi Marcin,

we are granting permissions to application and processes via groups. These could be either Active Directory groups or BPS groups.
If you are using this approach you can create an application in which you can assign users to these groups.

Here's an example of how to do it with BPS groups:

There's also the option to use the REST API if you want to assign single users:

https://my-webcon-bps-portal/api/data/v4.0/db/{dbId}/processes/{idguid}/admin/privileges/add

You can view the available API when you navigate to and select the version in the upper right corner.

Thank you Daniel,


Management (https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/managing-of-bps-groups/37) is pretty cool, but I miss being able to add one group to another. I would like to create a group hierarchy and I would like to create this in BPS groups instead of AD.

Group A (user 1, user2)
- Group B (user 3, user 4)
- Group C (user 5, user 6)
