Managing Users

User / Roles maintenance is located on the Administrator screen (View->Administrator). This is where you can create users, manage passwords, setup administrator accounts and assign users to roles within the system. Initially BlueSky Integration Studio creates a user called 'Administrator' for you. The default password for the administrator user is: manager. You should change the password immediately upon installation to ensure a secure system.

Users

Create user

- To create a new user, simply enter the user name and password and click the 'Create User' button. Initially, the user has no access to anything, you must then assign the user to a role(s).

Create user like another user

- Creating a user like another user will copy all of the attributes of an existing user and duplicate them for a new user including all associated Roles. To create a user like an existing user, select the user name from the existing users list on the left.

- Enter the new user name and password into the User and Password fields, then click the 'Create Like' button.

Change an existing users password

- Select the user name from the list of existing users on the left. The User field will automatically be filled in with the selected users name. Enter the new password and click the 'Change Password' button.

Delete an existing user account

- Select the user name from the list of existing users on the left. The User field will automatically be filled in with the selected users name. Click the 'Delete User' button.

System Administrator

- A system administrator account can access every function of the system, in all application domains.

- Select the user name from the list of existing users on the left. The User field will automatically be filled in with the selected users name. Click the 'System Administrator' check box.

Roles

In BlueSky Integration Studio, assigning users to roles give the administrator the ability to limit access to specific functionality within each of the Application Domains. There are 3 main roles within each Application Domain:

Option | Description
Administrator | The administrator role for an Application Domain has full rights to both design jobs and the job control. Administrators of an Application Domain can do anything related to the jobs in only the application domain for which they are assigned. Administrator is the same as assigning a user to both the JobControl and Design roles for an application domain.
JobControl | The JobControl role allows users to access the job control functions of any job within the application domain for which they are assigned.
Design | The Design role allows users to design and compile jobs only within the application domain for which they are assigned.

These roles were created because, in some cases, it is necessary to allow a user to control a job's execution through the JobControl window, but you don't necessarily want that user to be able to open or modify the actual design of a job.

Assigning users to a Role

- First, select the Application Domain to work with. By selecting an application domain you are limiting the users access to jobs only for that specific application domain. If you want to give the user access to job in multiple application domains you must select each one individually and assign the user to the respective role.

- Assigning a user to a role is as easy as dragging and dropping them into the role. For instance, in the example below, the user bweber was dragged and dropped into the Design role for the Finance application domain. Assuming this is the only role that bweber is assigned to, bweber can now only design jobs and compile them in the Finance application domain, however this user cannot run the job in the Job Control window.

Revoking a user from a role

- To revoke a user from a role, select the user name or role (depending on the Group by selection), and click the Revoke button.
