Enabling skins administration for users

You can enable any user to configure and modify skins on the form views using the Skin Designer role in BMC Remedy AR System.  In a multi-tenant environment, you may enable tenants to configure skins for their environment. By default, these tenants do not have the permissions to configure skins. You can enable this feature by mapping Skin Designer role to specific tenant groups.

To enable skins configuration for users

1. Create a AR System access control group using the BMC Remedy Mid Tier. Use the Group form to create the group to which you want to grant access for configuring AR System skins. For example, you might want to create a group with a name such as AR System Skin Administrator. For more information about creating a group, see Creating-groups.

   Warning

   Note

   You can also use an existing group for mapping the Skin Designer role.

2. Open the Roles form in New mode and create a new role for the following applications:
   
   1. AR System Administration
   2. AR System Skins

3. For each application, enter the following details:

   Field	Value
   Application Name	AR System Administration	AR System Skins
   Role Name	Skin Designer	Skin Designer
   ID	-2	-2
   Mapped Group	Test: AR System Skin Administrator Production: AR System Skin Administrator	Test: AR System Skin Administrator Production: AR System Skin Administrator

   For more information about creating and mapping roles, see Creating-and-mapping-roles.

    

When you map the role to the AR System Administrator group, all the users of the group can access the AR System Skin Administration console. In a browser, the user can access the skin administration console by clicking AR System Administration > AR System Skin Administration.
