Add a Role

Before adding a role, review these considerations:

To add a new role, you must be a user in the role of ROLE.MGR.

You must precede the role name with the ROLE. prefix.

The part of the role name that follows the prefix consists of 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters,
the first of which may not be a number.

The alphabetic characters in role names are not case-sensitive.

HPDM allows you to add multiple roles separated by a comma.

The Neoview platform supports a maximum of 255 roles, but three of these roles (ROLE.MGR,
ROLE.DBA, and ROLE.SECMGR) are reserved, so you can create a maximum of 252 new
roles. (You cannot use the name of an existing role when adding a new role.)

The role(s) that you add using the Add Role(s) dialog box do not have passwords or
password-expiration criteria. Only the preconfigured roles have passwords.

To add a role or multiple roles:

1.

Log on as a user belonging to ROLE.MGR. For more information about logging on, see

“Connect to a System” (page 25)

.

2.

Select the Security area. For more information about areas, see

“Select an Area” (page 35)

.

3.

In the navigation tree pane, select the Roles folder. The right pane shows the list of roles.

4.

Use one of these methods to display the Add Role(s) dialog box:

In the right pane, click [ Add ].

In the navigation tree pane, right-click the Roles folder, and select Add Role.

5.

In the Add Role(s) dialog box, type the name of a role, or type multiple role names separated
by commas:

Example of Single Role Name

ROLE.ITDBA

Example of Multiple Role Names Separated by Commas

ROLE.ITOPS, ROLE.SARA, ROLE.BOSTON4

6.

Click [ OK ] to add the role(s). The right pane displays the new roles momentarily.
