Default users and user groups


When you install TrueSight Presentation Server, the following out-of-the-box user groups and users are created in your Remedy Single Sign-On (SSO) server for the default * tenant. Not all out-of-the-box user groups contain out-of-the-box users. The out-of-the-box user groups have default permissions. You can enable the out-of-the-box user group and provide an out-of-the-box user group name to it. After checking the authorization profile associated with the user group, you will be permitted to login.You can enable the out-of-the-box user group and give it a name using the tssh CLI command. For more information see tssh commands.

Do not create a username that is same a Remedy Single Sign-On "Admin" user.


Remedy SSO resources

To view Remedy SSO requirements for TrueSight Operations Management, see System requirements for Remedy SSO.

To access information about installing and configuring Remedy SSO, see Installing Remedy SSO.

Enabling access to TrueSight console users not associated with a user group in Remedy SSO

Users can log in to the TrueSight console by using an authentication mechanism such as local, LDAP, or SAML configured with the Remedy Single Sign-On Server. These users when not assigned a specific user group or groups in Remedy SSO, are not authorized to log in to the TrueSight console. 

To authorize such users who are not associated to a user group in Remedy SSO and give access to the TrueSight console, you must create a base user group in Remedy SSO and manually enable the base user group from the TrueSight Presentation Server. Once you enable the base user group, any user belonging to any identity provider such as LDAP or SAML configured with Remedy SSO can easily log in to the TrueSight console without having to be associated with a specific user group. You can also manually disable the base user group from the Presentation Server. Until you manually disable it, the base user group will continue to work as expected.

Note

The base user group is not available out-of-the-box.

You must have administrator privileges to create and enable or disable the base user group authorization.

To create and enable the base user group

  1. Log in to Remedy Single Sign-On as an admin user and create a base user group. For more information, see Setting up local user authentication in Remedy SSO.

  2. Log in to TrueSight console as an admin user and either create or assign a default Authorization Profile to the base user group. For more information, see Creating authorization profiles

  3. From the Presentation Server command line, run the following command to enable the base user group property in the Presentation Server:

    tssh properties set tsps.usergroup.base.enabled true reload
  4. Run the following command to set the new user group name as the base user group name to be used by the Presentation Server:

    tssh properties set tsps.usergroup.base.name <groupname> reload

To disable and remove the base user group from the Presentation Server

You can temporarily disable or permanently remove the base user group. In either case, only the users who have associated user groups from Remedy SSO are able to log in to the TrueSight console. All other users without associated user groups can no longer log in to the TrueSight console.

  1. From the TrueSight Presentation Server, run the following command to disable the base user group:

    tssh properties set tsps.usergroup.base.enabled false reload

    Note

    In future, if you want to enable the same base user group, you have an option to skip the next two steps. See, To create and enable the base user group.

    Continue to step#2 only if you want to permanently remove the authorization profile and the default user group.

  2. Remove the Authorization Profile defined for base group. For more information, see  Editing and deleting authorization profiles.
  3. Remove the base user group created from Remedy SSO. For more information, see link   To add users to or remove users from a role.

For TrueSight Capacity Optimization Users
