Users

You establish user security when you add new users to the product and assign a user ID and password. If a user does not have a valid user ID and password, they cannot log in. For each person, a user record is established, and the record is associated with a contact in the ca_contact table.

You can add users to the product in the following ways:

Import them.
Manually define them.

When manually defining users, you can immediately authorize them to use the product. However, when you import users, import them first, and then you can authorize them.

Note: When you define a user manually, a corresponding CA EEM user is also created. CA EEM verifies the user name and password when the user logs in to CA APM.

After you define all CA APM users, assign each user to a user role and assign the entire role access rights to determine what they see and can access when they log in.
