Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Creating the GCD administrator

A directory service account that has Full Control access to the Content Platform Engine domain object.

Procedure

  1. Create the following directory server account:
    GCD administrator
    Unique identifier
    gcd_admin
    Description
    The gcd_admin is able to create, modify, and delete Content Platform Engine domain resources.

    The gcd_admin account must reside in the directory service realm specified in Configuration Manager's Configure LDAP task.

    A GCD administrator can grant Full Control rights to additional users and groups, thereby making them GCD administrators as well. Being a GCD administrator does not automatically make you an object_store_admin, which is assigned on the object store's own property sheet.

    • Create the GCD by launching the Configure New Domain Permissions wizard the first time you start IBM Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to establish the FileNet® P8 domain.
    • Carry out administrative tasks for the FileNet P8 domain.
    Minimum required permissions
    Use IBM Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to grant Full Control access to the Content Platform Engine domain object.
