Assigning users to repository resource limits groups
To assign a user to a repository-based resource limits group, you select directly from the list of available users and groups that were given access to the secured repository when it was created.
About this task
The users and groups that are available for selection were defined based on the type of security that was selected for the repository. If LDAP security was selected, the users and groups were obtained from the LDAP server. If Internal security was selected, you define the user and group information using the Users and Groups view. If no security has been specified for the repository, and resource limits are repository based, you do not have the ability to create resource limits groups and make assignments.
The order in which you create user information or resource limits groups does not matter. You can create user information first, then create resource limits groups. You can create resource limits groups first, then user information. This flexibility is intended as creating and editing user information and resource limits group assignments is an ongoing process as the needs of your organizations change
To assign a user to a repository-based resource limits group:
Procedure
- From the Repository Explorer view, right-click a data source. Select Properties from the pop-up menu. The Properties for [data source] window opens. Click Resource Limits. The Resource Limits window opens. There are two pages. Click the Resource Limits tab. On the tab, click Refresh List. Select a resource limits group from the list of available resource groups. Click Assign. The Assignment for [resource limits group name] window opens.
- The users that have been defined for the data source and are available for assignment, but have not been assigned to the selected resource limits group, are listed in the Not assigned list box. The users that have been assigned to the selected resource limits group are listed in the Assigned list box. To filter the users that are listed in the Not assigned list specify the user ID of a specific user or a wildcard character in the Name filter field. A percent (%) sign will generate a list of all users that have been defined for the data source. If not listed, the user or group has not been defined. You can define a new user or group, and then refilter the list.
- Select the user that you want to assign to the resource limits group from the Not assigned list. Click Assign. The user is moved to the Assigned list.
- To remove a user from the resource limits group, select the user from the Assigned list. Click Unassign. The user is moved to the Not assigned list. To remove all the users from the Assigned list and move them to the Not assigned list, click Unassign All.
- Click OK. Your additions or changes to the resource limits group user assignments are saved.
