Update Role Definitions

Your first upgrade from CA Identity Manager r12 or r12.5 requires an update of role definitions. This update is required so that the environment has the current version of roles and tasks and the product works as documented. Use the following procedure to import a role definition file that applies in your situation.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Management Console, click Environments.
  2. Select the environment.
  3. Go to Role and Task Settings.
  4. Click Import.
  5. Scroll up to see role definition files under the heading, Category: Upgrade to SP.
  6. Select a single role definitions file based on the following table:

For example, if the CA Identity Manager environment was created for r12.5 SP2, it uses a provisioning server, and the CA Identity Manager user store has a flat hierarchy (no organization), select the following file:

Upgrade-12.5-to-12.5SP-RoleDefinitions-ProvisioningNoOrganization.xml.

After you import the role definition file, you can view and execute new tasks by assigning them to the appropriate admin role.
