An IBM® BPM
on Cloud instance
includes a development, test, and a process runtime environment. If
you have the account administrative role, you specify which environments
a user can access and the IBM Business
Process Manager groups
that the user is assigned to within each environment.
Before you begin
To add and configure environments for users, you must have
the Account Administrator role.
About this task
Each IBM BPM
on Cloud environment
provides the functions that users need to accomplish the tasks that
are assigned to them, such as developing or testing business processes
and applications. For example, a user with access to the IBM BPM
on Cloud development
environment can author processes.
When users are invited to
join the IBM BPM
on Cloud instance,
their user IDs are assigned access to the process runtime environment
as a business user. Users who are listed under the Full
Name column of the User Management window
as Invited User were invited to the instance.
These users must click the link in the invitation they were emailed
to create their access and log in.
Procedure
- Log in to IBM BPM
on Cloud (https://www.bpm.ibmcloud.com).
- Click .
- Assign or remove access to the IBM BPM
on Cloud environments
for each user ID. For example, to author processes and
process applications using Process Designer, users
must have access to the development environment.
Important: You
can assign access to the development environment to five users in
the IBM BPM
on Cloud environment,
by default. If the maximum number of users are assigned, you must
remove access from a user before you can assign it to another user.
If you need more developers, you can purchase extra development users.
- Assign users to or remove them from the IBM BPM groups
for each environment. Click the name of the user to assign
or remove the following IBM BPM group
privileges:
Table 1. Group privileges| Group |
Privileges |
|---|
| tw_admins |
Members have full access to IBM Process
Center,
where they can administer IBM BPM user
groups and applications. They can also perform health management tasks
in the Process Admin console, such as deleting processes and snapshots.
To work with BPEL processes too, members must also have the Operator
role. |
| Debug |
Members have access to the debug feature. |
| twem |
Members have access to Event Manager. |
| tw_authors |
Members can author processes and process applications
in IBM Process
Designer. |
For example, to enable users to author processes in Process Designer, assign
them access to the development environment and add them to the tw_authors group.
If you also add the users to the tw_admins group,
they can also manage user groups in IBM BPM.
- Optional: Assign a user, or users, to the Operator role. An operator can access the Performance Admin Console for
any environment that they are assigned access to. An operator monitors
the environment, for example by retrieving logs, viewing performance,
measuring concurrent users, and monitoring Java™ database connectivity (JDBC).
Results
As you add and configure users, you can track user access
from the
User Management window. The column headers
for each environment show the number of available users in each
IBM BPM
on Cloud environment
and the number currently assigned. When you add or remove user access,
the numbers are automatically updated. The maximum number is the maximum
number of user accesses that were purchased with your subscription.
What to do next
You can also remove a user from your
IBM BPM
on Cloud environment.
You might want to remove users who are not actively using
IBM BPM
on Cloud,
for example, to add new users. You can remove a user by clicking the
Remove icon
(
) at the end of the row of the user to be removed.
