Map RunAs roles to users [Collection]
We can map a specified user identity and password to a RunAs role. This enables you to specify application-specific privileges for individual users, so that they can run specific tasks using another user identity.
The OSGi application that you are importing or updating contains predefined RunAs roles. RunAs roles are used by applications that need to run as a particular role for recognition when interacting with another application.
To view this panel in the administrative console, click one of the following paths:
- Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > [Deployed assets] Add > Add Asset > asset_name > Wizard step: Map RunAs roles to users
- Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > composition_unit_name > [Additional Properties] Map RunAs roles to users
The Map RunAs roles to users option is only visible if the application uses RunAs roles.

Username
User name for the RunAs role user.
This user already maps to the role specified in the Security role to user or group mapping [Settings] panel. We can map the user to the appropriate role by either mapping the user to that role directly or mapping a group that contains the user to that role. After you specify the user name and password for the user and select a RunAs role, click Apply.
