Assign a Role to a Global User

You can search for an existing user account and assign the application user group for the role you want the individual to perform. If you reference an external user store, the search returns global records loaded from that user store. If your configured user store is the CA Enterprise Log Manager user store, the search returns records created for users in CA Enterprise Log Manager.

Only Administrators can edit user accounts.

To assign a role, or application user group, to an existing user

1. Click the Administration tab and the User and Access Management subtab.
2. Click Users on the left pane.

   The Search Users and Users panes appear.

3. Select Global Users, enter search criteria, and click Go.

   If the search is for loaded user accounts, the Users pane shows the path and the path labels reflect the referenced external directory.

   Important! Always enter criteria when searching to avoid displaying all entries in an external user store.

4. Select a Global User that has no membership in a CA Enterprise Log Manager application group.

   The User page displays with the folder name, global user details, and, if applicable, global group membership.

5. Click Add Application User Details.

   The "CAELM" User Details pane expands.

6. Select the desired group from Available User Groups and click the right arrow.

   The selected group appears in the Selected User Groups box.

7. Click Save.
8. Verify the addition.
   1. On the Search Users pane, click Application User Details and click Go.
   2. Verify that the name of the new application user appears in the displayed results.
9. Click Close.
