Users in the tw_admins group have administrative access to the Workflow Center repository and can grant administrative access to other users.

About this task

The best way to manage access to Workflow Center and its repository is by using groups. You can add preexisting groups of users from your external user repository to tw_admins, which is an Business Automation Workflow group whose members have administrative access to the repository by default.

Workflow Center displays users and groups from the following sources:
  • Business Automation Workflow internal groups created in the Process Admin console.
  • The user repository that was configured for the Business Automation Workflow environment.
Note: Membership in the tw_admins group also grants many other privileges outside the repository. If some of your users should have administrative access to the repository without having administrative access to the runtime aspects of this Workflow Center environment, (create and) add a new group and enable the Admin option for that group.

Procedure

To grant administrative access to the Workflow Center repository:

  1. In Workflow Center, click the Admin option.
  2. Select the Manage Users option.
  3. Find the user or group to which you want to grant administrative access, and then enable the Admin option for that user or group.

Results

Groups and users who are designated as Admin in this window have these additional abilities:
  • Ability to manage user access to the entire Workflow Center repository
  • Administrative permissions on all process applications and toolkits
  • Ability to edit Workflow Center settings such as offline servers or a connected Workflow Center
