BMC AMI Capacity Reporting user groups

Access to the functionality of the BMC AMI Capacity Reporting tools can vary for each user and is determined by assigning users to BMC AMI Capacity Reporting user groups.

The Windows system administrator is responsible for assigning each user to a specific user group. For more information, see Assigning-users-to-BMC-AMI-Capacity-Reporting-user-groups.

Getting-started

Installing

The product functionality available to users depends on the user groups to which they are assigned.

You should assign the users to just one of the following BMC AMI Capacity Reporting user groups:

User group

Members can access

BMC AMI Capacity Reporting Product Administrators 

All product functionality including the reporting and administration tools

BMC AMI Capacity Reporting Content Creators 

The reporting tools but cannot access the administration tools

BMC AMI Capacity Reporting Stakeholders

The dashboards (read-only) published by Content Creators or Product Administrators

Important

You can add Active Directory groups to the Stakeholders group to allow the publishing of dashboards to a group of users.

(Limited availability) To designate an Active Directory domain group to authorize users for the given product roles:

  1. Update the CMMRolesAndGroups.xml file that is deployed and created during the installation process in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BMC Software Shared\Data Files location.
    Do not change the group => role assignments if you do not want to enable this feature. 
    By default, the Windows user groups associated with roles are local machine groups, created on the local machine by the installation. 
  2. Specify the Active Directory user group names.
    Make sure that you prefix the user group name with the Active Directory domain name. For example <my-domain>\<my-group-name>. 
    Additionally, the service account that you are using to run the IIS worker process and the BMCCMMService (specified during installation) should have access to the domain and the user groups within that domain.
