  • Root users can log on to BMC Release Process Management by using the BMC Release Process Management credentials.
  • If the LDAP or CAS user exists in BMC Release Process Management, then after logon, the user is taken to the Dashboard page of the application.
  • If the LDAP or CAS user does not exist in BMC Release Process Management, then after logon, the user must enter first name, last name, and email address. The User role is assigned to this new user.
