Setting permissions to the parent collection path

After creating a new RXT file via a new user role, you need to set permissions using the following methods to provide READ, WRITE, DELETE, and AUTHORIZE permissions to the parent collection path.

Using the management console

Follow the steps below to set permissions via the Management Console.

Log in to the WSO2 G-Reg Management Console, and click Main → Resources → Browse.
Navigate to the parent collection (e.g., /_system/governance/test/contacts/names) and click on it.
Add the new role in the Permissions section.

Using the product binary distribution

Follow the steps below to set permissions via the product binary distribution.

Open the <G-REG_Home>/repository/conf/etc/permission-mappings.xml file.

Add following configuration to the end of the file.

<mapping managementPermission="/permission/admin/manage/resources/govern/imapersonne/add" resourcePermission="http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/get" resourcePaths="/_system/governance/ima/contacts/personnes"/>
<mapping managementPermission="/permission/admin/manage/resources/govern/imapersonne/add" resourcePermission="http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/add" resourcePaths="/_system/governance/ima/contacts/personnes"/>
<mapping managementPermission="/permission/admin/manage/resources/govern/imapersonne/add" resourcePermission="http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/delete" resourcePaths="/_system/governance/ima/contacts/personnes"/>
<mapping managementPermission="/permission/admin/manage/resources/govern/imapersonne/list" resourcePermission="http://www.wso2.org/projects/registry/actions/get" resourcePaths="/_system/governance/ima/contacts/personnes"/>
