Role-based access

Role-based access (RBAC) to the features and components comprised in

TrueSight Operations Management

is enabled by persona-based authorization profiles. Each authorization profile is associated with one or more BMC Remedy Single Sign-On realms and comprises user groups, roles and permissions, and objects. Collectively, the authorization profile components determine the features and objects that users can access and monitor. You can use each default authorization profile as is, you can modify its attributes, or you can create your own authorization profiles.

This topic provides an overview of authorization profiles and the components that compose them.

Realms and tenants

Tenants or realms segment users in Remedy Single Sign-On and enable multitenancy support. In TrueSight Operations Management, each realm represents a tenant.

The * tenant (realm), with default user groups and users, is created in Remedy Single Sign-On when you install the TrueSight Presentation Server component.

For information about supported versions of BMC Remedy Single Sign-On, see System-requirements-for-Presentation-Server.

Authorization profile structure

The following diagram illustrates the basic structure of an authorization profile. Each profile is associated with one or more realms and comprises user groups, roles and permissions, and objects. You can use each default authorization profile as is, you can modify any of its elements, or you can create your own authorization profiles.

The Superadmin in the * tenant (realm) can create and modify authorization profiles and apply them to multiple tenants. Authorization profiles created by tenant administrators apply to users of that tenant. For more information about tenant user administration, see Access control for SaaS administrators.

Authorization Profile components

When creating an authorization profile, you must already know the user groups, roles, and objects required for the new profile. You cannot create or modify components during the creation of the authorization profile. See the following topics for more information about modifying and creating the required elements:

Default authorization profiles

During the installation of TrueSight Presentation Server, the following persona-based authorization profiles are created in the TrueSight Presentation Server for the * tenant (realm):

API-Only User
Application Specialist–Applications
Application Specialist–Services
Capacity Administration
Capacity View
Executive
IT Operations User
Service Manager
Solution Administrator
Technology Specialist

Solution Administrator profile

By default, users in the Solution Administrator profile are associated with the roles, permissions, and objects that enable those users to access all features in the products, including the ability to modify and create authorization profiles.

The Solution Administrator profile has unrestricted access to all realms and all features and objects in the TrueSight Operations Management solution. The following table shows the user groups, roles and permissions, and objects the compose the Solution Administrator authorization profile. However, you must note the following restrictions:

The Solution Administrator profile has unrestricted access to all realms, all features, and all objects in the TrueSight Operations Management solution.
A non-Solution Administrator user belonging to the * (default) realm do not have an unrestricted access to objects in other realms.
