You must make sure that the user has the correct roles to perform configuration management tasks. Verify that the correct roles are available in BMC Configuration Management. For detailed information about user roles, see the BMC BladeLogic Automation for Clients CMS and Tuner Guide.

To verify roles for user authentication

1. Log on to the BMC Configuration Management console.
2. Choose Applications > Console > System Settings.
3. Click the User Authentication tab.
4. On the User Authentication Settings page, click the User Roles link.
5. On the User Roles page, make sure that you have properly set up the group capabilities of users when they log in to use the BMC Configuration Management browser-based applications.
   When users log in to the system, their roles are assigned based on the user name and password they provide.
   • The CMS AR System User must be assigned the Primary Administrator role.
