You allow users access to the IBM® Content Manager system by creating user IDs, passwords, and privilege sets.
To define user IDs with the proper access, you need to do the following steps:
- Find the appropriate privileges to create privilege sets.
- Assign privilege sets to the users to allow them to do what their jobs require.
- Create access control lists (ACLs) to restrict access to certain objects.
- Assign user IDs to ACLs to specify their access to objects.
After defining individual user IDs, you might also want to organize them by grouping them with other user IDs with similar access needs or similar job requirements. User groups allow you to conveniently organize your user IDs so that you can find specific user IDs easily.
