Specifying users and groups for Internal security option

The Internal security option requires that you identify the users and groups that will be able to access the repository.

About this task

Each repository that you create can have a different set of users and groups that are allowed access. After you identify the users and groups that are allowed to access the repository, you can then assign them permission to access specific objects within the repository.

To set up the users and groups that can access a repository that has Internal security:

Procedure

  1. Open the Users and Groups view by selecting Window > Show View > Users and Groups.
  2. To add a new user that will be able to access this repository, right-click the Users node and select New > User from the pop-up menu. The New Repository User window opens.
    Specify the new user information.
  3. To add a new group that will be able to access this repository, right-click the Groups node and select New > Group from the pop-up menu. The New Repository Group window opens.
    Specify the new group information.
  4. To edit a user's password, right-click the user name in the tree and select Set Password from the pop-up menu. The Set Password For User window opens. Specify the new password in the Password field.
  5. To delete a user or group, right-click a user or group name in the tree and select Delete from the pop-up menu. The selected user or group is deleted.
  6. To refresh the list of user and groups names, right-click anywhere in the view or on any element in the tree and select Refresh from the pop-up menu. The list is refreshed.
  7. To edit a user's or group's properties, right-click a user or group name in the tree and select Properties from the pop-up menu. The Properties for [User] window opens if you have selected a user or the Properties for [Group] window opens if you have selected a group. Edit the fields that you want to change and click OK.
  8. You can choose to either leave the Users and Groups view open or close the view by clicking the close icon. The next step to setting up users and groups for repositories with Internal security is to assign permission to use repository objects.
