Administering CA Configuration Automation › Implementing Multi-tenancy › Create and Manage Users

Create and Manage Users

Use either the CA Configuration Automation Server UI or the CA EEM UI to define CA Configuration Automation users. In either case, click the Administration panel, click the Access Management tab, then click the Users link.. The functionality is identical in the two locations.

You can add users of the tenant UI to one or both of the following predefined user groups:

Tenant Administrators

Members can access the administration functions in the Tenant Administration UI on tenant instances on which they have access permissions. The Tenant pane contains an Administration link that opens the administrator UI. The pane also contains links that open the CA Configuration Automation Server UI on a selected tenant.

Tenant Viewers

Members can access the CCA Server UI on tenant instances that the Tenants pane displays.

Note: The Tenant Viewer permissions are required to view tenants in the Tenants pane.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Tenant Administration UI on the master CA Configuration Automation Server, then click the Tenants tab.

   The Tenants pane and the tenants table are displayed. They display the tenants that are configured for this master server.

2. In the Tenants pane, click the name of the tenant for which to add or modify users.

   The CA Configuration Automation Server UI opens for the selected tenant.

3. Click the Administration link, click the Access Management tab, then click the Users link.

   The Search Users and Users panes open.

4. Complete one of the following tasks:
   • Add a user as described in the CA Configuration Automation Product Guide. Ensure that you:
     • Click Add Application User Details, then enter CCA in the AppInstanceName field.
     • Add the user to the CCA Tenant Administrators or CCA Tenant Viewers group.
     • Click Save.
   • Modify a user:
     • Enter the user name in the Search Users pane Value field, then click Go.
     • Click the user name in the tree in the Users pane. The right User pane displays details of the selected user.
     • Add the user to the CCA Tenant Administrators or CCA Tenant Viewers group.
     • Click Save.
5. In the Tenant pane, click the Administration link.
6. In the Tenant Administration UI, click the Users tab.

   The Selected Administrators or Selected Viewers column displays the user that you created in Step 4.
