Users have access to AAI functions and areas according to the domain that they are assigned to and to their user roles in that domain. The JAWS and LDAP domains provide two user roles only: Admin (full access to all AAI areas and functions) and User (read-only access to all AAI areas and full access to reports and the monitoring dashboards). The eEM supports much more granular security access.

Note:

Although business areas are not strictly a means of controlling access to functions, they do play a role on what users can see when they first log in. When you assign a business area to a user, their dashboards will display jobstreams for that business area only. Users can modify their business area settings at any time.

As an AAI administrator, after adding domains you can start adding and configuring users. This topic explains how.

The All Users List

For JAWS and LDAP users, the All Users list displays all the users that are defined in the system. For Admin, each user name is a link that opens the dialog where you can edit the user definitions. For application Users, the list is read-only and does not contain links.

For eEM users, this list displays the users to which you have access according to your user definition in eEM.

You can sort the content of the columns by clicking the arrow icon in the column header.

The content of the list is self-explanatory. However, the following is worth mentioning:

  • Last Login refers to the date and time that the user last logged in to AAI based on the user's preferred time zone.

  • It a user has at least one active session, the blue circle is a link. Click it to open the Active Sessions tab.

    For more information, see Active Sessions.

Adding Users

Only Admin users (JAWS and LDAP) or eEM users with the necessary privileges can add users. On the Add User dialog you enter the user details and you set a predefined filter for the user.

  • Adding Users to the JAWS Domain

    Specify the Username, Domain, Role and Password. The password must contain at least six characters one of which must not be a letter.

  • Adding Users to the LDAP or Kerberos Domains

    Specify the Username, Domain and Role.

  • Adding Users to the eEM Domain

    Specify the Username and Domain.

Editing Users

To edit a user definition, click the link on the user name in the All Users list. The resulting dialog is very similar to the Add Dialog but it contains an additional Active Session tab.

Note:

The user name and the domain are not editable.

Deleting Users

  1. In the All Users list, click the link on the user you want to delete.

  2. On the resulting dialog, click the Delete button.

Filtering Users

Filtering users allows you to customize the All Users list. On this All Users tab of the User Management page, you can apply the following filter attributes:

  • Domain

    To select the relevant domain, select the checkbox next to it. The system displays the domains available in your system, such as JAWS, eEM, LDAP and so on.

  • Role

    Select the relevant checkbox to filter users with the Admin or User role.

  • User Name

    To narrow down the User Name attribute, you can define one or more of the filter parameters available. All parameters relevant to narrow down the User Name refer to text searches:

    • Equals
    • Not equals
    • Contains
    • Does not contain
    • Starts with
    • Does not start with
    • Ends with
    • Does not end with

Important!

You can add multiple attributes to your filter; they are put together as AND options. You can also add more than one filter parameter for each attribute. These values are put together as OR options.

For more information on how to define and apply filter attributes and filter parameters in the AAI web interface, see Using Filters (Web Interface).
