Assigning roles to the reporting users

Reporting users are the users who are imported from  to  by running the ETL. By default, all the reporting users are assigned the TrueSight Manage Reports role in TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform.

As a  administrator, you can assign one of the following TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform roles to the reporting users:

• TrueSight View Reports
• TrueSight Manage Reports
• TrueSight Component Administrator
  

However, you cannot assign multiple roles to a single user. 

To assign a TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform role to a  user

Do the following:

1. Log in to the system where  is installed.
2. If new users are added in , run the ETL.
3. Go to the directory where the user_roles.csv file is located:
   <TSSA-DWInstallationDirectory>\shared\ConfigurationManagement
4. Take a backup of the user_roles.csv file. 

5. Open the user_roles.csv file, and add the required role in the following format:

   Syntax:

   < User Name>/<SiteID>;<TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform Role Name>

   Examples:

   • For domain authentication:
     paul@blg164.domain/2;allow_smart_reports_administration
     
   • For LDAP authentication:
     cn=mike,ou=qa,o=bmc/2;allow_smart_reports_view
   • For other authentication types:
     TSSAReportUser1/1;allow_smart_reports_administration

   Note: Add the user name in the same casing that you use while logging in to the  console. Otherwise, the default role is assigned to the user.

   Add one of the following values depending on the role that you want to assign: 

   • allow_smart_reports_view - Corresponds to the TrueSight View Reports role in TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform.
   • allow_smart_reports_management - Corresponds to the TrueSight Manage Reports role in TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform.
   • allow_smart_reports_administration - Corresponds to the TrueSight Component Administrator role in TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform.
6. Save the user_roles.csv file. 
7. As a reporting user, log in to the  console.
8. Verify that the reporting user has permissions according to the role that is assigned in the user_roles.csv file.
