New Configuration

It is customary to import external users and resources information, from which CA GovernanceMinder builds a configuration file, by downloading it from an external computer. However, you can also open a new configuration file from scratch. This option creates a new configuration containing users and resources (all users and resources, if the option is selected) without the links between them.

Note: To build a new configuration file, it is first necessary to prepare a Users Database and Resources Database in the appropriate formats.

To create a new configuration

  1. Activate the appropriate radio button in the Choose Open File Type window, and click OK.

    The New Configuration window appears.

  2. Insert the following data in the fields:
    Users Database File

    Defines the pathname of the users database file. Use the Browse button to locate the file.

    Resources Database File

    Defines the pathname of the resources database file. Use the Browse button to locate the file.

    Include All Users

    Check this option to insert all records in the users database into the new configuration. Uncheck this option to create the configuration without any users, and add a selected subset of users to the configuration later.

    Include All Resources

    Check this option to insert all records in the resources database into the new configuration. Uncheck this option to create the configuration without any resources, and add a selected subset of resources to the configuration later.

    The Open button becomes active after the path to the Users Database and Resources Database files are filled in.

  3. Click Open to create the configuration file.

    A new configuration is generated in a new window. The Roles panel of the configuration is empty.

    CA GovernanceMinder designates the new configuration with a new default name. Note that the Users Panel and the Resources Panel contain data, and the columns contain the appropriate titles. The Roles Panel is empty. The Role Engineer can implement discovery and audit procedures to generate roles.
