Using BizTalk Rule Engine

Hi All,

I want to consider using BizTalk rules engine for an application. This
application needs is to be hosted by an application service provider, and
therefor needs to cater to multiple clients. Each client need the
flexibility of having its own rules.

I've been looking at BizTalk and cant seem to find an way to be able to have
some sort of grouping that will enable me to have a group of policies for
each clients. Is it possible to do this using BizTalk?. Is there anyother
(maybe 3rd party front end like the Business Rule Composer ) that might help
with this?

Thanks

KSuranga.

I don't think there is a grouping, but there is a little documented security
api that allows you to set security on policies and, I believe,
vocabularies, that you might be able to leverage for the same purpose. In
addition you then ensure that people can only edit their own policies.

Not sure if this is a supported API/feature, but I'd look into it in your
case as it seems like a fit.
