Providing user access

Edit online

Enable users and user groups to access Business Automation Workflow. You need to perform this step only once for all Cloud Pak for Business Automation capabilities.

About this task

Note: The Cloud Pak installs an administrator user (admin) and kubeadmin automatically. If these administrator user names also exist in your LDAP, it results in authentication errors. For more information, see Troubleshooting.

Procedure

  1. Configure your LDAP connection.
    You can skip this step if you have completed the LDAP connection configuration before.
    1. Access your cluster Common UI (console) by following the steps in Accessing your cluster by using the console .
    2. Configure your LDAP connection by following the steps in Configuring LDAP connection.
  2. Get the URL to log in to your IBM Cloud Pak® dashboard from your cluster web console:
    1. Select your namespace.
    2. In the left panel, select Workloads > Config Maps.
    3. Find cp4ba-access-info. You can get IBM Cloud Pak dashboard information from workflow-server-access-info.
  3. Select OpenShift authentication for kubeadmin or IBM provided credentials (admin only; this admin user is from Step 1 a), and log in to your IBM Cloud Pak dashboard.
  4. Expand Administration in the left navigation and select Access control.
