Administer Basic CA EEM Security

When you install CA Process Automation or upgrade, CA Process Automation is registered with CA EEM. CA EEM provides access policy management, authentication, and authorization services for many CA Technologies products. Security administration varies depending on whether you are setting up security for the first time or you have upgraded CA Process Automation. If you are upgrading, security requirements depend on whether you previously used CA EEM or LDAP for user authentication. Whether you are new or upgrading, if you plan to load user accounts from an external directory server into CA EEM, a separate set of procedures are required.

This chapter addresses using CA EEM to assign each user one of four default roles, whether you are creating user accounts, have existing user accounts, or are loading user accounts from an external directory.

See Administer Advanced CA EEM Security if you are creating custom roles and custom policies.
