Configuring Public Services Settings

A user must be assigned a role with the View and Manage Configurations permission to modify configuration settings for Public Services settings through the Producer Portal.

Public Services are described in detail in the FlexNet Operations On-Premises Installation & Implementation Guide.

Note:Before changing any configuration settings in a working FlexNet Operations instance, it is advisable to export the working configuration settings. If there is a problem with the new settings, you have a backup of working settings to restore.

Note:By default, users or applications accessing Public Services must authenticate themselves. This behavior is controlled by the configuration option Enable authentication for Public Webservices (see Configuring System Settings | General Options).
