Configuring the JAWS Domain

Domains control the user login, authentication method and access privileges to AAI's functions. JAWS is the Automic Automation Intelligence's native domain. After a fresh AAI installation, it is available by default and you can neither edit nor delete it. You cannot crate a new JAWS domain either. As an AAI administrator, you edit and manage the JAWS domain to determine the user access to functions based on it.

The JAWS domain supports two user roles:

  • Admin

    These users have unrestricted access to the entire user interface. They can add, edit and delete objects.

  • (Application) User

    These users have read-only access to certain areas of the user interface AAI. The areas that pertain to administrative tasks are completely hidden from them.

    This type of user can only monitor jobstreams and create reports.

When you add users and assign them the JAWS domain, you must identify them as either Admin or User.

Note:

JAWS has a predefined administration user that has full access to features, functions and user interface areas. This user is meant to setup AAI and make it functional only, not as regular AAI user. Its credentials are:

  • User name: admin
  • Password: password

Once AAI is set up, we recommend that you either delete this user, that you modify its password or that you create a new user with admin privileges in this domain.
