Manage User Categories

A user category, such as Administrator, Manager, or User, determines the default set of privileges assigned to a user.

You can redefine, rename and create user categories if you have the Admin: Edit user categories privilege.

If you redefine a category (that is, redefine its default set of privileges), CA DLP automatically updates the privileges of all users with that category assigned. For example, if you add a privilege to the Manager’s category, all users with the Manager category are automatically granted the new privilege.

Note: If future versions of CA DLP introduce new privileges to a default category, these will be granted automatically to all users with that category when you run the upgrade.

To redefine a category

1. Click Tools, Manage User Categories.
2. In the User Categories dialog, select the category you want to edit.
3. If required, you can:
   • Rename the category.
   • Assign or remove administrative privileges.
   • Set the default security model.

To create a new category

1. Click Tools, Manage User Categories.
2. Click New to display the Create New User Category dialog.
   • Enter a name for the new category.
   • Specify which existing user category the new one is copied from.
3. If required, modify the administrative privileges and default security model assigned to the new user category.
