Creating a New Profile Object

If you create a profile object while logged in to a "Group Admin" type role, members of that same role can assign the created profile to roles. Additionally, members of the System Administrator role can also assign any profile to various roles.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Administration Tab, click the Profile subtab.

   Click Create.

2. Enter a Profile Name.
3. Enter a User ID and Password.

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

4. (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 use or edit this profile.

   Notes:

   • The Assigned Roles field is read only and cannot be changed.
   • To add this profile to a role you must edit the role.
   • The Last Modification field is blank when CA OM Web Viewer creates the role.
5. Click Create.
