Administrative Scoping

In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, you assign privileges to users and administrators by assigning admin and privileged access roles. A role contains tasks that correspond to application functions in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management.

Roles simplify privilege management. Instead of associating a user with each task that they perform, you can assign a role to the user. The user can perform all the tasks in their assigned role. You can then edit the role by adding tasks. Every user who has the role can now perform the new task. If you remove a task from a role, the user can no longer perform that task.

When a user logs in to CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, they see tabs based on their role. The user can see only the tabs and tasks that are assigned to their role.

You can assign separate roles to different users to prevent one user being able to complete every task. This may help your organization comply with separation of duties requirements. However, you can assign more than one role to a user.
