Member Lists

A member list is a data set that contains user names and attributes. You use a member list to assign reviewers in a certification campaign.

A member list contains the following three fields:

Login

Defines a user account in CA RCM. This field has the same content and format as the LoginID field of a user or configuration file.

Category

Defines a user, role, or resource attribute. This field can have a different value for each record in the member list. To match entities in the campaign, specify attributes that exist in the configuration file on which the campaign is based.

Value

Defines the value of the attribute listed in the Category field.

To assign a reviewer for an entity under review, CA RCM scans the member list, comparing attribute values in the member list to the attribute values of the entity under review. CA RCM assigns review tasks for the entity to the user specified by the first record in the member list that matches an attribute value of the entity.

Note: A member list can only contain attributes for one entity type–user, role, or resource. However, one member list can contain attributes and values from several universes. Only the LoginID field must be uniformly defined in all universes that are used with the member list.

You perform the following member list administration functions through the CA RCM portal:

• Create a member list interactively.
• Import a data file to create a member list.
• Clone an existing member list to create a member list.
• Edit an existing member list interactively.

Example: Match Reviewers to Resource Attributes

The following member list associates users with various resource attribute values:

This member list is used to assign reviewers in a resource certification campaign. The following resources are under review:

• The Domain_Users resource with ResName3 attribute equal to Solaris, and Location attribute equal to Atlanta. CA RCM uses the first matching record in the list, and assigns Hector Torres to review links for this resource.
• The Purchasing resource with Organization equal to Headquarters. No records in the member list match this entity. CA RCM cannot assign a reviewer based on the member list.
