Creating and Managing Roles › Product Privilege › Manage Product Access

Manage Product Access

You allocate access to product features and data as you create each user account. You can use the following method to verify the role rights for a specific user. You can also change them if desired.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the required administrative role rights.
2. Select Admin, User Settings, and click Users.

   The Manage Users page opens.

3. Select the user account that you want to edit.

   Note: The rights and privileges that are assigned to the predefined administrator account, 'admin', cannot be modified. This user account must have administrator access to all registered data sources.

   The Create New User wizard opens.

4. Click Product Privileges.

   All the data sources that are registered with CA Performance Center appear on the Product Privileges page.

5. Click the values that are shown in the Product Privileges column to enable drop-down lists.

   

   Each registered data source has a separate list.

6. Select one of the following product privileges from the drop-down lists:

   Administrator

   Performs all functions, including creating and editing groups, menus, dashboards, roles, and user accounts.

   Power User

   Creates menus and dashboards. Can also edit and create roles.

   User

   Views menus and dashboards that are designated by an administrator or power user.

   None

   Has no access to a data source. This setting prevents the user from following a drilldown path from a view in CA Performance Center to the data source user interface. By default, all users have this product privilege setting for all data sources.

7. Click Save.

   The changes to product privileges are saved to the selected user account.
