Adding users to the Maximo Anywhere security groups
When mobile workers manage records, they must have the authority to use the Maximo® Anywhere mobile apps. You authorize access to the Maximo Anywhere apps by adding users to the predefined security groups in Maximo Asset Management.
About this task
The user and group association are retrieved from Maximo Asset Management during authentication. If the user does not belong to the security group that is associated with the app, login fails. For each app, this security control is implemented in the application definition file. In this file, the requiredRole attribute specifies the security group that is authorized to use the app.
By default, the Maximo Anywhere security groups do not include any users. You must add the relevant users, including predefined users such as MAXADMIN, before you deploy the associated apps.
Procedure
- In the Users application of Maximo Asset Management, create the user records.
- In the Security Groups application, select the Maximo Anywhere group to which you want to add a user.
- If your user is in a MAXADMIN group, clear the independent flag for that security group.
- From the Users tab, click New Row.
- Select a user. The associated user information populates the other fields.
- Save your changes.
What to do next
The Maximo Anywhere security groups do not include authorizations for specific sites, labor, storerooms, or GL components. You must create separate security groups to implement security controls for these items.
Users of the Maximo Anywhere Work Execution app must have a labor record. If a user does not have a labor record, login fails.
