Administer Environments

At installation the CA Process Automation Domain has one environment, the Default Environment. Administrators defined in the default PAMAdmins group have all rights. You can create CA EEM policies that grant specific administrator rights to different users. For example:

An administrator with Domain Administrator rights can create additional environments to segment the Domain. Typically, the Default Environment is used for designing automated processes and supporting objects. When one or more processes is ready for use in the existing production environment, the administrator creates an environment in CA Process Automation and names it Production Environment. Other examples include geographic segmentation, life cycle segmentation, and staging. These tasks are addressed in this chapter.
An administrator with Environment Content Administrator rights can add touchpoints, host groups, create touchpoint groups, and remove unused touchpoints in bulk. They also can create new objects, including processes and schedules. See subsequent chapters for details about touchpoints and host groups. See the Content Designer Guide for details about using the Library and Designer tabs for content creation and development.
An administrator with Environment Configuration Administrator rights can configure the contents of a selected environment. Administrators can accept or override inherited settings. Configuring the contents of an environment can include editing security settings, setting environment properties, enabling or disabling operator categories, and setting inheritance for triggers.
