Use the User Administration tool to set up and administer
users and user groups. Rational® ClearQuest® stores
information about users and user groups in the user database and schema
repository.
You can access the User Administration tool from the Designer or
from .
Use the User Administration tool to perform these
tasks:
- Create new users and user groups and add users to
user groups.
- Specify whether the user is authenticating with LDAP or Rational ClearQuest.
- Assign privileges to users and user groups that define the tasks
they can perform within Rational ClearQuest client
and the Designer. You can also restrict user and group access to specific
actions by adding an access-control hook to the action.
- Control the data that users and groups can access by giving them
access to specific databases.
- Export user data and import it into another schema repository.
To administer users and user groups, you must have User Administrator
privileges. The Designer includes a default user name, admin,
that you can use to get started. When you first install Rational ClearQuest,
you can log in using the admin account without
a password. The admin account includes the
Super User privileges that you need to perform many administrative
functions.
Attention: After you add or modify a user or user group,
you must upgrade your user databases with the new information.
