Activating your user access

To use IBM® Business Process Manager on Cloud, you must first activate your user access.

Before you begin

Check that you received an email invitation from noreply@bpm.ibmcloud.com, which contains a link and instructions to log in.

About this task

Your email address and the password you create when you activate your access are always your login credentials.

Procedure

To activate your IBM BPM on Cloud user account, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the link to IBM BPM on Cloud that you received in the email invitation to create your account. Because the activation web page opens in your default browser, make sure that you are using a supported web browser. See IBM Business Process Manager Advanced detailed system requirements for information about the supported web browsers.
  2. Provide the information to activate your access.
    1. Your user ID is always your email address.
    2. Enter your given name and surname.
    3. If you do not already have a password, you are prompted to enter a new password for your Process Transformation on Cloud account.
      Important: You are prompted to change your password every 90 days. If you reset your password, the temporary password expires after an hour.
  3. Click Activate.
  4. If you have access to more than one instance of IBM BPM on Cloud or IBM Operational Decision Manager, you will see a list of your subscriptions. Select the IBM BPM on Cloud instance that you want to work in.
  5. Your IBM BPM on Cloud main subscription landing page displays the following information.
    • You can see the roles and authorizations that are assigned to you.
    • On the Work tab, you can access the environments to which you are assigned access. By default, you see the Process Runtime Operating Environment.
    • If you are assigned to the Account Admin role or the Operator role, or both, you also see the Admin tab.
  6. Optional: To manage IBM BPM on Cloud roles and IBM BPM groups for subscription members, click the Admin tab.

Results

The main page shows only the environments that you are authorized to access. From the Work tab, the deployment environment, or environments, that you see depend on the access that your user account was assigned by the account administrator of your IBM BPM on Cloud instance. You might be assigned access to one or more of the following environments:
  • Development environment
  • Test environment
  • Process runtime operating environment

To access an environment that you do not have access to, ask your account administrator to provide the additional access.
