Authority

The Authority options allow the user to do other things in IBM® Content Manager OnDemand. For example, A User Type of User can be permitted to create users. The authority options that you can select depend on the User Type. For example, if the User Type is Application Group/Folder Administrator, then by definition, the user can create application groups and folders. Therefore, the only additional authorities that the user can be given are Create Users and Create Groups. Choose from the following:

Create Users

An optional authority for users and application group/folder administrators:
  • If the User Type is User, lets the user create users with a User Type of User.
  • If the User Type is Application Group/Folder Administrator, lets the user create users with a User Type of User or a User Type of Application Group/Folder Administrator.
Tip: Users with Create Users authority can maintain the users that they create, so long as they remain an administrator of the user.

Create Groups

An optional authority for users, user administrators, and application group/folder administrators. Lets the user create groups. Users with Create Groups authority can maintain the groups they create, so long as they remain a group owner.
Remember: These group definitions are not the same as IBM i group profiles, although the names can match if you find that easier to maintain.

Create Application Groups

An optional authority for users and user administrators. Lets the user create application groups. Users with Create Application Groups authority can maintain the application groups that they create, so long as they remain an application group administrator.

Create Folders

An optional authority for users and user administrators. Lets the user create folders. Users with Create Folders authority can maintain the folders that they create, so long as they remain a folder administrator.

Create Cabinets

An optional authority for users and user administrators. Lets the user create cabinets. Users with Create Cabinets authority can maintain the cabinets that they create, so long as they remain an administrator of the cabinet.

Create Holds

An optional authority for users, user administrators, and application group/folder/cabinet administrators (not applicable for Hold Administrator). Lets the user create holds. Users with Create Holds authority can maintain the holds they create, so long as they remain an administrator of the hold.

Restriction: When adding or updating a user, you are not permitted to set the User Type or Authority to a level that exceeds your own. For example, a user with Create Users and Create Groups authority cannot create a user with Create Folders authority.
