Users, Workgroups, and Security Profiles

Unicenter MP implements role-based management of your enterprise information by controlling access to Unicenter portlets and the actions available in portlets based on the Unicenter MP workgroups to which a user belongs.

Unicenter MP lets you add users and organize them into workgroups. The workgroup a user belongs to controls access to portlets, channels, and library folders based on the view and modify permissions associated with these objects in the workgroup. Administrators can grant permissions to an individual user or to workgroups. For more information about users and workgroups, see the Implementation Guide and the CleverPath Portal Administrator Help, which you can access from the Help sub-tree of the Portal Administration page.

To control access to the actions available in a portlet, Unicenter MP uses the concept of security profiles. Each workgroup has a security profile associated with it. The same security profile can be mapped to multiple groups. Each security profile consists of a set of permissions that control individual actions in the Unicenter portlets. You, as administrator, can modify the existing profiles, or create a new one, using the Unicenter MP Administration Wizard.

You can access the wizard from the Unicenter MP Administration workplace that is available to the admin user. Also, as a member of the Admin workgroup, you can access the wizard by selecting Knowledge from the main Unicenter MP menu bar. In the left pane of the Knowledge page, select Library, Enterprise Management, Administration, _UMP Administration Wizard.
