Hi jitesh,

The link is about authenticating service when connecting to mdm repository. but the requirement is should not allow the end user to execute web service if he is not authorized.

Hi Sandeep,

For a particular user to use a particular webservice say for eg Search Webservice.You need to provide that particular MDM user authentication to the webservice i the Visual Administrator configurations.

The MDM user must be defined in MDM Console with proper Roles and Authorizations.When you give this MDM user access to the Search Webservice for eg then this user can login and run the search webservice.

To know about the configuration required to work with MDM 5.5 Webservices then view the below link;
