# Secure Coherence service configurations

Oracle WebLogic Server authorization can be used to restrict access to Oracle Coherence services. Specifying authorization on a cache service affects access to all the caches that are created by that service.

To specify service authorization:

1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
2. In the left pane of the Console, select Environment > Coherence Clusters.
3. In the Coherence Clusters table, select your Coherence cluster.
4. Select the Security: Services page.
5. Click New.
6. In Name, enter the name of the service. The name of the service must exactly match the name of the service used in an application.
7. Click Finish.
8. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
   Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

Result

The service is displayed in the Coherence Services table. Select the service in the table to access its settings page where you can define scoped roles and policies using the Roles and Policies pages, respectively.
