Administering users

Your database privilege security mode determines how you administer users.

This procedure contains steps for both traditional database privileges and dynamic privileges with project security modes. All privileges are Rational® Synergy (Synergy back-end) privileges.

Traditional database privileges

The Rational Directory Administration interface is used to manage users and groups, so the information is read-only. However, you can remove users from the database and export users to Rational Directory Administration.

Procedure

  1. Start an Admin session.
  2. On the Action Panel, click User Management.
  3. In the User Management button bar, click the Users tab.
  4. View all users by clicking the All tab, or use the Filter tab to show a subset of users.
  5. To filter the list, select a filter field from the list, type a string to be matched, and then click Go.
  6. See the following topics for detailed steps for administering your users:
