ABSTRACT:
Security levels are assigned to a shared component. A workflow manager receives a workflow request that corresponds to a plurality of workflow steps. For each workflow step, the workflow manager determines whether the workflow step uses a shared component or an unshared component for execution. If the workflow step uses a shared component, the workflow manager invokes the step, and stores the step and its corresponding security level in a security tracking table. When the workflow manager encounters a shared component, the workflow manager uses the security tracking table entries in order to determine a security level to assign the shared component. The workflow manager assigns the determined security level to the shared component, and invokes the shared component to execute the corresponding process step.
