Role Overview A 'Role' is a first class workflow object within Jetfire. Roles provide the logged-in user with permissions for accessing workflows, workspace contents, executing methods, accessing properties and changing permissions. A Jetfire user can be assigned one or more roles. Methods and properties objects can have roles assigned using the 'access construct' . Workflow objects can be assigned roles programmatically (see below). This restricts usage and visibility of methods, properties to the Jetfire user [...]
