Verify the New Access

Use the Simulator to test the access of a user to a data set. Simulating access verifies that a user ID has the appropriate access rights to a resource.

Follow these steps:

1. Add the Quick Links module to your dashboard and click Simulate Access Attempt.
2. Select the correct system from the System drop-down list.
3. Choose one of the following options:
   • If the user name for the selected system is the same as the logged-in user name, go to step 6.
   • If the user name for the selected system is different, go to step 4.

   Note: After you select a system, CA Chorus generates a PassTicket to authorize your connection. If the PassTicket authorization fails, you can enter your password to access the system.

4. Enter your user name.
5. Enter the password for the selected system. The Password field appears in the following cases:
   • The PassTicket generation fails.
   • The user name that you enter is different from the logged-in user name.
   • If the application ID is not set while configuring the security systems. The application ID is used to generate a PassTicket for a logged-in user
6. Enter the appropriate information in the remaining fields and click Simulate.
7. Review the simulation results to verify that the user now has appropriate access to the data set.

You have corrected the access rights problem. You identified the missing role using the Investigator, modified the ACID using the Security Administration interface, then verified access using the Simulate Access Attempt quick link.
