Configuring named user licenses

As an administrator, you can configure certain options in the License configuration window for the users to create a project and perform other tasks in Rational® Test Automation Server.

Before you begin

  • You must have installed the product and signed up as a user on Rational® Test Automation Server.

  • You must be an administrator of Rational® Test Automation Server.

About this task

As an administrator, you can assign the role of an administrator to any user. For information about how to change the role, see the related link.
Note: When your role from a user is changed to an administrator, you must log out and log in again so that Rational® Test Automation Server can apply the change in your role.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational® Test Automation Server.

    The Configure licensing dialog box is displayed for the first time you log in or if the licenses are not configured.

    Alternatively, you can access the Configure Licenses option by clicking the User icon user_icon.

  2. Select the Disable automatic self-acquisition of named user licenses option if you do not want to self-acquire named users license on a first-come-first-serve basis.
  3. Enter the values in the OneTest License Server URL and OneTest License Server ID fields, if you want to provide the values that are different from the values configured during the installation of Rational® Test Automation Server.
  4. Click Configure to apply the license configuration.
  5. Enter the name or the email ID of the user in the Add named users field, and then select the name from the list that displays to add members to the Named Users list.
    Note: You can press the Ctrl key to select multiple users simultaneously.
  6. Click Add to make selected users as the named users.
  7. Perform the following actions described in the following table to remove or replace users from the Named Users list:
    Options Actions
    Remove Perform the following steps:

    1. Locate the user from the Named Users list that you want to remove.

    2. Click the Menu icon menu_icon next to the name of the user, and then click Remove.

    3. Click Remove on the Remove named user dialog box to complete the action.

    Remember:

    • When the Disable automatic self-acquisition of named user licenses option is selected, and if the user who is removed from the Named Users list tries to perform any project operation, then the name of the user is added back to the list. The name of the user is added only if sufficient licenses are available.

    • When the Disable automatic self-acquisition of named user licenses option is cleared and you remove the user from the Named Users list, the test runs scheduled by the user fails to run if sufficient licenses are unavailable. If the user is currently on Rational® Test Automation Server, then the license can be used until the current session remains active.
    Replace Perform the following steps:

    1. Locate the user from the Named Users list that you want to replace with another user.

    2. Click the Menu icon menu_icon next to the name of the user, and then click Replace.

    3. Enter the email ID or name of another user that you want to add to the Named Users list.

    4. Click Replace to complete the action.
