Creating user accounts

About this task

You need to create user accounts for the various roles that the HCL Compass ALM process uses.

If you are using the OOTB ALM schema you have the option of selecting sample data. You can create a user database and populate it with sample data. The sample data includes an ALMAdmin record and a SecurityPolicy record both of which reference users in your system. There should be one ALMAdmin record that initially has one member (admin). You can log in as admin and add any Project administrators to that ALMAdmin Members list. You can also clone a Project and some of the related records using the cloning utility.

In addition to being able to add other Members and Groups, ALMAdmin members and users in ALMAdmin groups are able to Add and update all Label records, Category, Project and Role records. They can also perform all Actions on all records regardless of their inclusion in Project Roles. Users who have the HCL Compass Security Administrator privilege and are listed as ALMAdmin record members can add SecurityPolicy ratl_context_groups.

Procedure

  1. Click Start > All Programs > HCL > KATA > Compass User Administration to open the User Administration tool.
  2. Click User Action > Add User. Create user accounts for all users who need to access ALM records.
