Administering › Administration Overview

Administration Overview

To set up and manage CA OM Web Viewer objects, use the Administration tab and the following object subtabs:

Repository

References a mainframe repository (CA View, CA Dispatch or CA Bundl).

Most properties that you set at the repository level lets you limit or change the access of the users who view and use the reports and data in the repository.

Role

Provides a definition of permissions. You can use a role to group users together to make the assignment of privileges less labor intensive. Roles are used to specify permissions for:

• User Authentication Type
• Ability to use email, save, print, and export report actions with option page limits
• Enable and disable favorites selections
• Determine the subscriptions and subscribed reports available for anyone that is defined with this role

Profile

Provides a definition that lets multiple LDAP users log on to CA View or CA Bundl using a single administrator-defined set of mainframe credentials. A profile can also provide the same user-entered LDAP credentials are mainframe credentials.

Notes:

The special LDAP Mainframe Hybrid Profile Object forwards the LDAP credentials of the user to mainframe security.

The special External Security EXIT Profile Object means the mainframe profile obtained via exit calls.

User

Provides basic user information, including the selected roles for this user.

Directory

Provides the LDAP information that validates a group of users with your current LDAP system.

Note: The special EXIT directory Object means the user directory system defined externally to Web Viewer.

Preferences

Includes General and Display preferences, output defaults, auditing settings, and statistics.

Note: Group Administrators can only access the Role, Profile, and User options, but System Administrators have access to all the admin options.
