Use WebSphere Application Server Community Edition in its default configuration only for test or evaluation purposes. For a secure production environment, create your own user credentials and map the roles that are used by InfoSphere® Optim web applications to the user credentials.
When you map user roles to user credentials, you can assign more than one user role to a single user. Each user role that you assign to a user gives the user access to the functions that are associated with the user role. For example, you assign the reviewer user role and the designer user role to a user. The user has access to the functions that are associated with the reviewer user role and to the functions that are associated with the designer user role.
Each user role gives users permission to perform a set of tasks that are appropriate to users with that user role. The following tables indicate which tasks can be performed by users that have each user role.
