Manage Service Privileges for User

This section describes the management of service privileges for a Launchpad user.

 

When new users are created, they must be explicitly assigned service privileges or an appropriate profile must be set. Similarly, you can change service privileges or profile while editing users. If you have assigned the Custom profile to the user you can configure permissions on Launchpad as well as other Launchpad services. If the selected profile is other than Custom, you can configure permissions on Launchpad, but not on other Launchpad service. You can customize the privileges on all Launchpad services for a user with Custom profile. Refer to Assign Profile section to assign profile.

Assign Privileges for Launchpad

When you assign user management privileges to a user with Custom profile, he is able to add, edit, delete users. This means that he is able to add a user account, edit user account information, and delete user account.

 

When you assign service privileges to a user with Custom profile, he or she is able to access the services that have been turned on for him or her. The user is able to perform service-related operations depending on the privileges on the role assigned to him or her on that service. When you assign service privileges to a user, you must turn on the individual services that you want to provide access to, and assign a service-specific role to this user on the each service. The user is able to access the service only when a service-specific role has been assigned to the user.

The service privileges for a user with Custom profile can be changed as many times as needed.

 

When you assign  privileges to a user, he is able to configure the customer level options such as  lockout policy and minimum password length under Admin>Settings tab.

  1. Log on to the Launchpad using your credentials.
  2. Click Admin and then click the Users/ Keys/ Profiles tab.
