Creating a New Profile Object

If you create a Profile object while logged into a "Group Admin" type Role, members of that same Role will be able to assign the created Profile to Roles. Additionally, members of the System Administrator Role will also be able to assign any Profile to various Roles.

Follow these steps to create a new Profile:

1. From the Administration Tab, click the Profile subtab.
2. Click Create (above the Profile List on the left pane).

   The Create Profile Panel appears in the right pane.

3. Enter a Profile Name.

   The Profile name is the name that CA OM Web Viewer will use for this Profile.

4. Enter a User ID and Password.

   The User ID and Password are the values found in the credentials that will be sent to CA View, CA Bundl, or external security when LDAP users are trying to access mainframe resources.

5. (Optional) Enter a Description

   This value is displayed on this panel, and also as a tool tip in the Profile selection drop-down when an administrator is selecting this Profile for a Role.

   This field can be used to display information about the intended usage of this Profile, or for notes to others who will use or edit this Profile.

   For more information, see Role Authentication.

   Notes:

   • The Assigned Roles field is read only and cannot be changed.
   • To add this Profile to a Role you must edit the Role.

     For more information, see Setting the Role Authentication Method.

   • The Last Modification field is blank because the Role is being created.
6. Click Create at the top right of the pane.

   The Profile is created.
