Configuring user access

To enable users to access the images and patterns on the appliance, the appliance administrator must first allow the user access. You can either create the users first and add the users to the group or create the group first and then create the users and add them to the group.

About this task

Administrative users, usually the appliance administrator, can add other users to access and administer the patterns. They do this using the system console.

Procedure

To configure user access, complete the following steps:

  1. Choose one of the following options to configure users and, optionally, user groups:
    • Add and configure a user from the Users window of the console.
      1. From the menu click System > Users.
      2. Click the Add icon.
      3. Provide a short user name as well as the actual name of the user, email address, and passwords and click OK.
      4. Select the user that you added in the Users panel to configure access. Configure the access and actions of the user you selected.
      5. Add the user to one or more user groups in the User groups field.
    • Create a user group.
      1. From the menu click System > User Groups.
      2. Click the Add icon. Provide a name and description for the group.
      3. Select the group that you added in the User Groups panel to configure the access.
      4. Add members in the Group members field and supply the permissions to apply to the group.
  2. Optional: If you already added the virtual images, provide access for the users or group to the virtual images. Switch to the workload console and click Patterns > Virtual systems to open the Virtual system patterns window. Select an IBM® SOA Policy Gateway Pattern virtual image to display its details. Add the users or group in the Access granted to field.

What to do next

If you have not yet added the virtual images, add the images and then provide the users or group access to them.
