Creating user groups for DASH

Edit online

To configure single sign-on (SSO) between DASH and Netcool® Configuration Manager, you must create Netcool Configuration Manager groups and roles for DASH.

Before you begin

Note: For SSO between DASH and Netcool Configuration Manager to work, the user groups specified in this procedure must exist in both DASH and Netcool Configuration Manager.

Network Manager and Netcool Configuration Manager users in DASH should use the same authentication type, for example, ObjectServer.

Note: The IntellidenUser role needs to be assigned to the IntellidenUser group. Similarly, the IntellidenAdminUser role needs to be given to the IntellidenAdminUser group.
