Web Services Privileges

A special WorldServer Web Services user privilege is required to run all SDK Web services. As shown in Figure 1, the WorldServer administrator grants or revokes this privilege on the User Type page:

Management > User Setup > User Types > User Type: Administrator > General Options > Web Services

Initially, only the Administrator user type is granted this privilege. An Administrator needs to assign this privilege to any user type deemed safe to exercise this privilege.

Anyone with this Web Services privilege can use most of the APIs exposed in the system SDK Web Services library over the Web, so this privilege must be granted carefully.

Another privilege, Can remove objects using Web Services, protects all Remove, Delete, and Cancel Web services APIs. By default, only administrators can use any Web service APIs that fall into this category. A user who is granted the Web Services privilege but not the Can remove objects using Web Services privilege can use only those Web service APIs that do not remove objects or cancel ongoing activities.
