Managing Product Administrators

The following procedure assumes that you have navigated to the Admin Console as a Product Administrator user.

Important

When running MainView Middleware Administrator (MVMA) with the LDAP_LDAP security model, you need to click the Request button to populate the users or groups in the selection list (see the following procedures) from the attached security repository. It is also recommended to enter a filter expression to limit the search and its impact as much as possible.

Users and groups are only populated automatically for the ADMIN security model.

  1. Select Product Administrators from the Navigation Panel.
  2. The Product Administrators view fills the workspace; select the Add Item icon "+" from the options above the Users list.
  3. In the displayed dialog, select from the list of available users. Note that you can filter the list of users by entering the relevant filter terms and clicking Request.
