Completing post-installation tasks for Business Automation Studio

Edit online

Enable users and user groups to access IBM Business Automation Studio and work with business applications and business automations. 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

    You can skip this step if you have completed the LDAP connection configuration before.
