Enabling self-service for tenant administrators


As a SaaS administrator, you can enable self-service for tenant administrators to perform the following operations autonomously, in addition to the local user management operations, in BMC Helix SSO:

  • View audit records
  • Manage sessions (view or delete existing sessions)
  • Configure settings for allowed authentications

You can enable self-service for tenants and realms. When you enable self-service on a tenant level, tenant administrators can also limit the available authentication types for a realm. 

To enable self-service for a tenant

  1. As a SaaS administrator, log in to the BMC Helix SSO Admin Console.
  2. On the navigation panel, click Tenant.
  3. From the tenant list, select the tenant for which you want to enable self-service.
  4. From the Action menu, click Edit Tenant Edit Tenant Icon.png.
  5. Select the Self Service check box.
    By default, the Self Service check box is disabled.
  6. From the Self service configuration list that is displayed, select the authentication types that should be available for a realm.

To configure self-service for a realm

After configuring the tenant, navigate to the appropriate realm to make it available to the tenant administrator for updating authentication settings.

  1. On the navigation panel, click Realm.
  2. From the realms list, select the realm for which you want to configure self-service.
  3. From the Action menu, click Edit Realm Edit Tenant Icon.png.
