Providing users with permissions to access the new CMDB UI using groups and roles

As an administrator, you can assign users to groups on the AR server to restrict users' access to specific features of the new CMDB UI. The groups that have restricted access to the new CMDB UI are created automatically during the installation of CMDB and ITSM. You only need to assign users to these groups.

Before you begin

• If you are the first administrator to log in, you must log in as an administrator and leave the Password field empty (BMC AR System user names are case-sensitive)
• During initial installation, the Demo user is installed as administrator without a required password. To keep BMC AR System secure, add a password for this user as soon as possible.

To provide users with access to the new CMDB UI using groups

You can provide users with access to BMC CMDB by adding them to a group which has the appropriate access.

1. Open the Users form in the Mid Tierfrom the following location:
   AR System Administration > AR System Administration Console > Application > Users / Groups / Roles > Users.
   The form opens in search mode.
    
2. Perform one of the following steps:
   • To create a new user, click New request.
     
   • To find existing users, enter search criteria in the User Name or any other field and click Search. 
3. Select a user that you want to add to a group.
   To find the correct group, open the Groups form and perform a search:
   AR System Administration > AR System Administration Console > Application > Users / Groups / Roles > Groups.
4. In the Group List, select the appropriate group based on this table.
