Sample: Authorize a User with CA ACF2

Use this procedure to identify the users that can log in to CA Chorus and can use specific disciplines. Additionally, you can authorize users to do the following tasks:

Index content in the Knowledge Center. Indexing the content lets the user add or remove documentation from this repository.
Use the auto-refresh option. This option refreshes the data that appears in the CA Chorus UI whenever the back-end data changes.

Note: The commands in this procedure are samples. For detailed information about using these commands, see the CA ACF2 Administration Guide.
