Users and groups

Find out how different authorizations for users and groups determine different types of access to the Dynamic Workload Console.

Use the Manage Roles panel to define custom roles and authorize users to access the different views to which every role is associated. From the same panel, you can also create customized roles and share the boards. You give users access to resources by assigning them to roles. Available resources and operations vary depending on the roles assigned to each user. As a result, depending on your user role designation, you might not be able to access all the items described in this topic. The following predefined roles are available:

API User

Users in this group can use only the Dynamic Workload Console APIs to perform supported actions. Logging to the Dynamic Workload Console through a Web browser does not grant them access to any feature. For more information about the Dynamic Workload Console APIs, see https://<DWC_hostname>:<DWC_port>/dwc/api.

Administrator

Users with this role can access the entire portfolio and use all features of the Dynamic Workload Console.

From the Manage Roles panel, administrators can add entities, manage pinned pages, and shared boards.

Developer

Users in this group can create, list, and edit workload definitions, workstations, and event rule definitions in the HCL Universal Orchestrator database.

Mobile User

Users in this group can manage the Self-Service Catalog mobile application but the actions they can perform are limited to submitting service requests, that is job streams.

Operator

Users in this group can access the following panels:

All Monitor tasks.
Jobs and job streams to be submitted on request
Set User Preferences

The following table lists some entries of the navigation toolbar, and some activities you can perform from the Dynamic Workload Console. Beside each item, you can find the groups whose users are authorized to access them.
