Assigning users to administrator roles

Before you begin

The following steps are needed to assign users to administrative roles.

Steps for this task

  1. To add a user or a group, click Add on the Console users or Console groups panel.
  2. To add a new administrative user, enter a user identity in the User field, highlight Administrator, and click OK. If there is no validation error, the specified user is displayed with the assigned security role.
  3. To add a new administrative group, either enter a group name in the Specify group field or select EVERYONE or ALL AUTHENTICATED from the Select from special subject menu, and click OK. If no validation error exists, the specified group or special subject displays with the assigned security role.
  4. To remove a user or group assignment, click Remove on the Console Users or the Console Groups panel. On the Console Users or the Console Groups panel, select the check box of the user or group to remove and click OK.
  5. To manage the set of users or groups to display, expand the filter folder on the right panel and modify the filter. For example, setting the filter to user* only displays users with the user prefix.
  6. After the modifications are complete, click Save to save the mappings.
  7. Restart the application server.
  8. Shut down the nodes, node agents, and the deployment manager.
  9. Verify that Java processes are not running.
    If they are running, discontinue these processes.
  10. Restart the deployment manager.
  11. Resynchronize the nodes.
    To resynchronize the nodes, run the install_root\bin\syncNode or the install_root/bin/syncNode.sh command for each node. For more information, see the syncNode command in the documentation.
  12. Restart the nodes.
    To restart the nodes, run the install_root\bin\startNode or the install_root/bin/startNode.sh command for each node. For more information, see the startNode command in the documentation.
  13. Start any clusters, if applicable.
