Create a CA Enterprise Log Manager User for ODBC or JDBC Access

Use this procedure to create a user account named ELM_Access for use with your JDBC and ODBC clients.

CA Enterprise Log Manager users with the dataaccess permission can use ODBC or JDBC to access event data. Each of the default user roles provided with CA Enterprise Log Manager has this permission. For this example, you could create a user with any of the default CA Enterprise Log Manager roles - Administrator, Analyst, or Auditor.

To create the new user

1. Log in to the CA Enterprise Log Manager server as an Administrator user.
2. Click the Administration tab and the User and Access management subtab.
3. Click the Users button to display the embedded CA EEM user interface.
4. Click New User. The New User dialog opens.
5. Click Add Application User Details and give the account Administrator application privileges.

   Note: In a production environment, you would assign the least permission needed for a user to access the data. You can limit access in many ways including user roles, access policies, and access filters. See the Online Help for more information.

6. Complete the user record as needed and assign a password, making a note of it for later use in this example.
7. Save the user and exit the Users window.
