You must log on to the Administrative Web interface and be a member of the JazzAdmins group.

About this task

Note: There are different ways to add a user to the Jazz™ Team Server installed on IBM® i, depending on the authentication mechanism being used. Rational Team Concert™ running on IBM i supports two authentication mechanisms: IBM i user profile and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Adding a user normally involves adding or modifying the user in the authentication realm, before adding the user to the server. See IBM i Authentication methods for more information.
Permissions for performing operations are assigned to individual roles in the project process configuration. You can assign permissions at the project or team level. The default role permissions apply to all users in the repository. Besides role-based permissions, new users are also assigned repository permissions based on repository groups. Repository permissions are configured for each user in the user editor. To assign repository permissions to users:

Procedure

  1. Click the User Management tab.
  2. Select the Active Users page; then click Create User.
  3. Complete the following fields:
    • In the User Name field, type a user name.
    • In the User Id field, type a unique user identifier.
    • In the E-mail Address field, type an e-mail address.
  4. In the Repository Permissions pane, select the appropriate user permissions.
    Repository group assignments control user access to the Jazz repository. Assign one or more of the following groups for a new user:
    • JazzAdmins: Administrators of a Jazz Repository with full read-write access
    • JazzDWAdmins: Administrators of a Jazz Repository with specific permissions to control the data warehouse on a Jazz Server
    • JazzGuests: Users with read-only access to the Jazz Repository
    • JazzUsers: Users with regular read-write access to the Jazz Repository
    • JazzProjectAdmins: Administrators of a Jazz Repository with specific permissions to create and modify project areas, team areas, and process templates
    Note: Passwords and repository permissions are valid only if the server is running a secure connection. When you create a user, the default password is the same as the user identifier. To change the user password, log on to the server as the user and edit the user properties. In the Eclipse client, to edit user properties, in Team Artifacts view, right-click the user repository connection; then click Open My User Editor.
    Note: If you use file system authentication, users can log in, but repository group information is not displayed in the user editor.
  5. In the Client Access Licenses pane, select the appropriate license type.
  6. Click Save.
