1 Getting Started with Interplay | MAM User Manager

The following topics provide basic information to help you get started using Interplay | MAM User Manager:

• About Interplay | MAM User Manager

• Opening User Manager

• User Manager Views

• Quitting User Manager

About Interplay | MAM User ManagerUser Management handles authentication requests and provides account information for each Interplay Media Asset Manager. For authorization purposes, rights can be defined and assigned to users, groups, and tenants. A user can be assigned to different groups, but a group always belongs to exactly one tenant. Users, groups, tenants, and rights are stored in a database (internal users/groups). Additionally, users and groups can be queried from an LDAP server (currently the ActiveDirectory and the Posix schema are supported) or WinNT Domain Controller (external users/groups).

To achieve this, Interplay MAM User Management offers an administrative GUI — called User Manager — that manages the administration of tenants, groups, users, and their access privileges. It enables you to do the following:

• Configure basic User Management settings

• Create and edit users

• Create and edit groups

• Create and edit tenants

• Create and edit rights

• Display and close sessions of logged-in users

• Display and download session reports

• Export and import User Management data

Prerequisites for Using User Manager

To use User Manager, you need to be a member of an administrator group that has the following group rights:

• Administration/Platform_Administration

• Administration/Query_UserConfiguration

• Administration/Modify_UserConfiguration

As an administrator you can review and assign these group rights with User Manager. The default MAM system administrator account is already configured accordingly.

User Manager Configuration Options

Some of the User Manager GUI elements and features are subject to configuration. The default MAM installation comes with a full set of default configuration settings for User Management. As an administrator you can review and adapt these configuration settings in the following MAM System Administrator profiles:

For additional information, see the “Interplay | MAM Configuration Settings Reference” that is shipped with the software.

Basic Concepts

When working with User Manager, consider the following basic User Management concepts.

Authentication

Authentication of users or system services is performed by the User Management service. For users, authentication is part of the login procedure, and system services directly authenticate on the API level. When an authentication is successful, User Management creates a new session and returns an access key that uniquely identifies this session. The access key will be used for all subsequent authorization requests. Users in a multiple-tenancy environment can only sign in for the tenant to which they belong.

The lifetime of the user session is limited; the session is terminated after a configured time span. However, the session can be actively refreshed to reset its elapsed time. A session is refreshed by each user action and only ends when a user remains inactive during a time interval that exceeds the configured time span. System services also have to refresh their sessions within User Management. They may also create new sessions on demand.

Authentication can be performed by referring to Interplay MAM User Management, or to an external user management system such as PDC or Active Directory.

For additional information, see “Changing the Session Timeout” on page 18, “Setting the External Backend” on page 18, and “Working with Sessions and Session Reports” on page 45.

Authorization

Authorization is managed for user groups as well as single users. Users must be members of at least one user group to have access to usage rights; then they can perform all actions that are granted to the group. If a user is a member of different groups, the rights granted to the groups are accumulated, and

the user can perform actions allowed by the accumulated rights. Users who are members of different tenants only have the rights granted to the groups of the tenant for which they log in. For additional information, see “Working with Groups” on page 28, and “Working with Rights” on page 35.

Session Reporting

User Management maintains an audit trail in the database that contains information about user and system sessions that are opened or closed. User Manager has a Session view in which the sessions of the system accounts bear the name of the components that requested a session. Additionally, User Manager provides a Session Reports view in which the recorded data can be aggregated for a report to show the minimum, average, and maximum number of concurrent sessions. For additional information, see “Working with Sessions and Session Reports” on page 45.

Opening User ManagerUser Manager is started from within Interplay MAM Control Center.

To start Interplay MAM User Manager:

1. Do one of the following:

t Open an Internet browser and enter the URL https://<hostname>:9911/ControlCenter/web/

Navigation Between Views

In the Users, Groups, Tenants, Rights, and Session views, all entries are linked: Clicking an entry opens the corresponding view and selects the entry in the new view. Example: If you are working in the Groups view and click the Administration/WSM link in the Group Rights pane, the Rights view is opened automatically; within the Rights view the Administration/WSM right is selected.

Quitting User ManagerWhen you are finished using User Manager quit the application.

To quit the application:

t Click the X in the User Manager tab.

User Manager quits, but both Interplay MAM Control Center and Interplay MAM Administrator remain open. You can resume working in both applications or quit.

16

2 Working with the General View

In most cases you will start using the General view of User Manager — here you set up basic User Management features. The following topics provide information about the basic options of the General view:

• Layout of the General View

• Allowing Empty Passwords

• Changing the Session Timeout

• Setting the External Backend

Layout of the General ViewThe General view is arranged in three sections that provide information and controls to set up basic User Management functions. The following illustration and table describe the layout of the General view.

Element Description

1 Version Shows the version number of the MAM services User Management WS and User Management WS Admin (= User Manager).

2 User Management Settings

Configures basic User Management settings: Empty password and Session timeout. For additional information, see “Allowing Empty Passwords” on page 18 and “Changing the Session Timeout” on page 18.

3 External Backend Sets and configures the used external User Management type: None, LDAP, or Windows NT (PDC). For additional information, see “Setting the External Backend” on page 18.

Allowing Empty PasswordsYou can create new users by entering a user ID and user name. This type of user does not need a password to log in to Interplay | MAM. By default, this feature is disabled. To create users without passwords you must activate the Allow empty passwords feature. You can do this as described in the following procedure, or by using the MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section Authentication > key AllowEmptyPassword.

To allow empty passwords:

1. Open the General view.

2. Select the Allow Empty Passwords check box.

It takes some time — usually a couple of minutes — until User Management WS updates this change. It must finish the update before you can add users without a password.

Changing the Session TimeoutInterplay MAM User Management ends inactive user sessions automatically after a predefined period (60 minutes, by default). Every time a user performs an action the session counter is set back to zero; as long as the user performs at least one action during the configured session timeout period, their session will not close automatically. You can change the session timeout as described in the following procedure, or by using the MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section Session > key Timeout.

To change the session timeout:


2. Overwrite the value in the Session Timeout field.

3. Click Set.

The changed value is applied immediately.

Setting the External BackendInformation about users and groups can be retrieved from the internal database or queried from an external backend (either an external LDAP server or WinNT Domain Controller). You can configure the external backend as described in the following procedure, or by using the MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section Backend/External > key Type and by using the sections Backend/External/LDAP and Backend/External/WinNT.

To set the User Management type:


2. Click the Edit External Backend button.

The Edit Backend dialog opens.

3. Select the backend from the Type list:

t None: No external backend is used

t Ldap: An external LDAP server is used (Active Directory, for example)

18

t Windows NT (PDC): An external Windows Domain Controller is used (pre Active Directory)

4. (Option) If you have selected “Ldap,” specify the following fields:

5. (Option) If you have selected “Windows NT (PDC),” specify the following fields:

Field Function

Schema The LDAP schema used by the directory service. Values are: ActiveDirectory or Posix.

BaseDN The root node (DN) of the LDAP tree that is queried for users and groups.

User Filter An LDAP filter expression that is applied to user searches.

Group Filter An LDAP filter expression that is applied to group searches.

Host Name The host name of the LDAP server. This is the fully qualified domain name of the server.

Port The port of the LDAP server. If the port is “0,” the default port is used.

BindDN The BindDN (user object) for the client authentication of ADS queries. This can be a DN (distinguished name in LDAP format), UPN (user principal name, user@somewhere) or windows account name (without domain).

Password The encrypted password of the user represented by the BindDN.

19

6. Click OK.

The Edit backend dialog is closed. Your settings are saved and applied immediately.

Since your MAM installation includes mapping files for supported external backends, all required mappings are performed automatically. The mapping files can be found in Interplay MAM System Administrator > User Data tab > Folders UserManagement/ActiveDirectory, UserManagement/Posix, and UserManagement/WinNT. For additional information, see the Interplay | MAM System Administrator User’s Guide.

Field Function

Domain Domain name of the Windows NT domain

User User name for client authentication

5 Working with Rights

Interplay MAM provides a list of predefined rights that can be assigned to user groups with MAM User Manager. Each MAM application checks various rights when a user tries to use the application or certain functions within the application. If a user is not a member of at least one group that possesses the required rights, the user cannot perform the desired action. If they are a member of a group that has the corresponding rights they are allowed to perform the action, even if they are a member of another group that does not have the rights in question.

As various applications require and check the same rights, the rights are grouped by logical functions. These groups are called categories. The categories are also used as a prefix to the specific rights-key. This implies that a complete rights-key consists of two parts: the category — a prefix for all rights of that category — and the specific right. Both are separated by a slash so that a complete rights-key looks like this: <category>/<right>, for example: Retrieval/See_Query_Strata

In the Rights view you can add new rights to Interplay MAM local User Management, or remove rights that are no longer needed in Interplay MAM. The following topics provide information about the basic actions you can perform on rights:

• Layout of the Rights View

• Adding a New Rights-Key

• Editing a Rights-Key

• Deleting a Rights-Key

Layout of the Rights ViewThe Rights view includes three panes that provide controls to set up and edit rights. The following illustration and table describe the layout of the Rights view.

Adding a New Rights-KeyYou can create new rights-keys. To use a new rights-key, the function that requires the right for access must show the call for the new rights-key in its source code. The name of the rights-key in the application’s source code must be used for creating the corresponding rights-key in User Manager.

Use the Rights pane to add a new right as described in the following procedure.

To add a new rights-key:

1. Open the Rights view.

2. Click the Add New Right button in the Rights pane.

The Add Right dialog opens.

Pane Description

1 Rights Lists the existing rights and provides controls to add new rights. For information about the default rights that are deployed automatically with the MAM system, see “Synopsis: User Management Rights” on page 58.The Rights pane's header section features an index with which you can apply a filter on the displayed groups.

All other panes of the Groups view show information about the right selected in the Rights pane. For additional information, see “Adding a New Rights-Key” on page 36.

2 Right Info Displays information about the right selected in the Rights pane and provides controls to edit and delete the right. The following rights-keys are system rights and cannot be deleted:

• Administration/Modify_UserConfiguration

• Administration/Platform_Administration

• Administration/Query_UserConfiguration

• UserManager/LoginAsMandate

For additional information, see “Editing a Rights-Key” on page 37 and “Deleting a Rights-Key” on page 38.

3 Rights Assignment Displays information about the tenants, groups, and users to which the right selected in the Rights pane is assigned. For additional information, see “Assigning Rights” on page 31.

36

3. Enter the rights-key in the Right field. The complete rights-key consists of the category and the specific right. Both are separated by a slash so that a complete rights-key looks like this: <category>/<right>, for example: Retrieval/See_Query_Strata. Blanks are not allowed.

4. (Option) Enter a comment on the right in the Description field. This comment is only displayed in the Description field of the Right Info pane.

5. Click OK.

The new right is added to the database and the complete rights-key is shown in the Rights pane.

To make the new right functional you have to assign it to groups. For additional information, see “Assigning Rights” on page 31.

Editing a Rights-KeyYou can edit the properties of a right at any time.

To edit a right:


2. Select the right in the Rights pane.

The Right Info and Right Assignment panes are activated for the selected right. The Right Info pane shows information about the right.

3. Click the Edit Right Properties button in the Right Info pane.

The Edit Right dialog opens.

n Once created, the rights-key cannot be changed; it has become a read-only field in the Edit Right dialog.

4. (Option) Adapt the description.

5. Click OK.

The Edit Right dialog is closed, your changes are saved.

6. (Option) To change the group assignment of the right, click the name of the group in the Rights Assignment pane.

The Groups view opens. Change the rights assignment as described in “Assigning Rights” on page 31.


37

Assigning a Rights-KeyYou can assign rights to tenants, groups, and users. The procedure is the same in all cases. Consider the following basic concepts for rights assignment in Interplay MAM:

• Groups: The main entities for rights assignment; usage rights in MAM are typically handled on group level.

• Tenants: If you want to assign rights to all groups of a tenant, rights can be assigned to the tenant, causing the groups that belong to the tenant to inherit the rights.

• Users: Rights are normally not assigned to individual user accounts.

The Rights Assignment pane of the Rights view shows the tenants, groups, and users to which the right selected in the Rights pane is assigned. It does not provide the controls to assign the right. To edit the right assignment, switch to the affected view.

To assign rights:

1. Click an entry in the Rights Assignment pane; for example, the name of a group.

The corresponding view opens; for example, the Groups view.


t Groups: Click the Edit Group Rights button in the Group Rights pane and edit the rights assignment in the Edit Group Rights dialog.

t Tenants: Click the Edit Tenant Rights button in the Tenant Rights pane and edit the rights assignment in the Edit Tenant Rights dialog.

t Users: Click the Edit User Rights button in the User Rights pane and edit the rights assignment in the Edit User Rights dialog.


Deleting a Rights-KeyYou can delete a rights-key at any time. This deletes the rights-key and its relations to other User Management entities — for example, an assignment to a group — but the related entity (the group) is not deleted.

n Rights of the category “CBA” can be deleted automatically: If an administrator deletes a CBA rule in Interplay MAM Datamodel Administrator and sets the “Remove CBA right from User Management” flag when activating the data model, the corresponding CBA right is deleted automatically from User Management. There is no undo for the delete action.

To delete a right:


2. Select the right in the Rights pane.

The Right Info and Right Assignment panes are activated for the selected right.

3. Click the Remove Right button in the Right Info pane.


4. Confirm with OK.

38

The right is deleted.

6 Working with Tenants

In the area of Application Service Providers (ASP), multiple customers — also known as tenants — may be hosted on a single Interplay MAM platform. Tenants are specific groups of users — typically organizations or organizational units — that own specific portions, such as data and processes, within the system. In MAM User Management they are a top-level structure that contain groups. Tenants and groups form a hierarchical relationship of type composition, this means that a tenant can contain multiple groups, but each group can only belong to exactly one tenant.

As a group needs to be assigned to a tenant in an MAM standard installation, there needs to be one default tenant in the system when setting up a new system or migrating an existing system. This is the DEFAULT tenant which cannot be deleted. To work on configuration data for the DEFAULT tenant you need the right Administration/Tenant_Administration_DEFAULT. To work on configuration data for all tenants you need to be Platform Administrator, this is a user having the right Administration/Platform_Administration.

The following topics provide information about the basic actions you can perform on tenants:

• Layout of the Tenants View

• Adding a New Tenant

• Assigning Tenants to Groups

• Assigning Rights to Tenants

• Editing the Tenant Properties

• Deleting a Tenant

Layout of the Tenants ViewThe Tenants view includes four panes that provide controls to set up and edit tenants. The following illustration and table describe the layout of the Tenants view.

Adding a New TenantUse the Tenants pane to add a new tenant as described in the following procedure.

Pane Description

1 Tenants Lists the existing tenants and provides controls to add new tenants. By default the following MAM tenant is displayed after system setup:

• system tenant: DEFAULT

The Tenants pane's header features an index with which you can apply a filter on the displayed tenants.

All other panes of the Tenants view show information about the tenant selected in the Tenants pane. For additional information, see “Adding a New Tenant” on page 41.

2 Tenant Info Displays information about the tenant selected in the Tenants pane and provides controls to edit and delete the tenant. For additional information, see “Editing the Tenant Properties” on page 43 and “Deleting a Tenant” on page 44.

3 Tenant Rights Displays information about the rights that are assigned to the tenant selected in the Tenants pane, and provides controls to edit the rights assignment.

n Normally you do not assign rights to an individual tenant, but rather to the group that is assigned to the tenant.


4 Groups Displays information about the groups that are assigned to the tenant selected in the Tenants pane. For additional information, see “Assigning Tenants to Groups” on page 42.

41

To add a new tenant:

1. Open the Tenants view.

2. Click the Add New Tenant button in the Tenants pane.

The Add Tenant dialog opens.

3. Enter the ID of the tenant in the Id field.

n This is the tenant ID used throughout the MAM system. It cannot be changed. The tenant ID is also stored with the User Management session and can be queried by applications from the User Management as a user property.

4. (Option) Enter a display name for the tenant in the Name field. If you do not, the ID is also used as the display name.

5. (Option) Enter a comment for the tenant in the Description field. This comment is only displayed in the Description field of the Tenant Info pane.

6. Click OK.

The new tenant is added to the database and the tenant ID is shown in the Tenants pane.

To make the new tenant functional you have to assign groups to it. For additional information, see “Assigning Tenants to Groups” on page 42.

Tip: After creating a new tenant, make it available in MAM Datamodel Administrator, MAM Process Modeler, and MAM Thesaurus Administrator. For additional information, see the corresponding documentation: Datamodel Administrator > topic “Importing Tenants,” Process Modeler > topic “Defining Tenants,” and Thesaurus Administrator > topic “Reloading Tenants.”

Assigning Tenants to GroupsThe Groups pane of the Tenants view shows the groups that are assigned to the selected tenant but it does not provide you with the controls for assigning tenants to groups. To edit the tenant-group assignment, switch to the Groups view.

To assign a tenant when creating a group:

1. Open the Groups view and click the Add New Group button in the Groups pane.

2. Assign the tenant to the new group in the Add Group dialog as described in “Adding a New Group” on page 29.

42

To assign a tenant to an existing group:


t In the Tenants view click a group in the Groups pane.

t Open the Groups view and select a group in the Groups pane.

The Groups view is opened and the Group Info, Group Rights, and Members panes are activated for the selected group. The Group Info pane shows information about the group, including the assigned tenant.

2. Click the Edit Group Properties button in the Group Info pane.

3. Change the tenant assignment of the group in the Edit Group dialog as described in “Editing Group Properties” on page 33.

Assigning Rights to TenantsUser Manager offers you the option to assign rights to tenants, groups, and users. The procedure is the same in all cases.

Normally usage rights in MAM are only handled on group level. To grant rights to all groups of a tenant, however, you can assign rights to the tenant, and then all the groups belonging to the tenant inherit the rights. There are no restrictions on the rights that can be assigned to tenants.


Editing the Tenant PropertiesYou to edit the settings of a tenant at any time.

To edit a tenant:


2. Select the tenant in the Tenants pane.

7 Working with Sessions and Session Reports

The authentication of users or system services is performed by the User Management service. For users, authentication is part of the login procedure, and system services directly authenticate on the API level. When an authentication is successful, User Management creates a new session and returns an access key that uniquely identifies this session. The access key will be used for all subsequent authorization requests.

The lifetime of the user session is limited; the session is terminated after a configured time span. However, the session can be actively refreshed to reset its elapsed time. A session is refreshed by each user action and only ends when a user remains inactive during a time interval that exceeds the configured time span. This behavior is subject to configuration in MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section Session.

User Management maintains an audit trail in the database that contains information about user and system sessions that are opened or closed. User Manager has a Session view in which the sessions of the system accounts bear the name of the components that requested a session. Additionally, User Manager provides a Session Reports view in which the recorded data can be aggregated for a report to show the minimum, average, and maximum number of concurrent sessions. This behavior is subject to configuration in MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section SessionLogging.

The following topics provide information about the basic actions you can perform on sessions:

• Layout of the Sessions View

• Displaying Session Details

• Closing Sessions

• Layout of the Session Reports View

• Retrieving Session Reports

• Exporting Session Reports

Layout of the Sessions ViewThe Sessions view includes two panes that display information about all open sessions and provide controls to close sessions. The following illustration and table describe the layout of the Sessions view.

Displaying Session DetailsUser Management logs session activities and generates snapshots of sessions currently in use. The Sessions view displays information in its Session Info pane.

Pane Description

1 Open Sessions Lists the number of open sessions and concurrent users. The number of sessions can exceed the number of users, as a single user can have several open sessions — this occurs when a user has either logged in to several work stations or has terminated a client without logging out.

Provides controls to refresh the Sessions view and to close all sessions. For additional information, see “Closing Sessions” on page 47.

2 Sessions Info Displays information about all open sessions in an overview table and provides controls to close individual sessions. Your own session is highlighted in red.

• Id: Access key that uniquely identifies the session. The access key will be used for all subsequent authorization requests.

• User: ID and name of the user that owns the session.

• Tenant: Tenant of the logged-in user. Users in a multiple-tenancy environment can only sign in for the tenant to which they belong.

• Created: Date and time when the session was created.

Expanding a session entry displays additional information about the session. For additional information, see “Displaying Session Details” on page 46 and “Closing Sessions” on page 47.

46

To display details of a session:

t Click the Expand icon in front of a session in the Session Info pane.

The row of the session is expanded and displays additional information:

Closing SessionsTo log out a user, or all users, close their sessions as described in the following procedure.

c Closing sessions is a maintenance feature that is to be used with extreme care: Depending on the affected component you may cause data loss by closing sessions.

To close an individual session:

1. Click the Logout button of the session to be closed in the Sessions Info pane.


2. Click OK.

The session is closed and removed from the Session view.

The affected user sees a message as illustrated below. After confirming, they have to log in to Interplay MAM again.

Column Info

Last Refresh Date and time when the session was last refreshed by a user action. The lifetime of the user session is limited and is terminated after a configured time span. However, the session can be actively refreshed to reset its elapsed time. You can configure the update behavior in MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section Session > key UpdateOnChange.

Expires Date and time when the session terminates if it is not refreshed by a user action. The expiration time is calculated by the Last Refresh time plus the duration set as session timeout. You can define the timeout in the General view or in the MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section Session > key Timeout. For additional information, see “Changing the Session Timeout” on page 18.

Groups Lists the groups of which the owner of the session is a member.

Rights Lists all rights that are granted to the owner of the session. The list aggregates all rights assigned to the user, the user's groups, and the user's tenant (if set).

47

To close all sessions at the same time (including your own):

1. Click the Close All Sessions button.


2. Click OK.

All sessions of all users are closed, including your own. The Sessions view is closed and the User Manager Login screen opens.

All other users see a “Your session has expired” message and have to log in to Interplay MAM again.

Layout of the Session Reports ViewThe Sessions Reports view includes three panes that display aggregated session report data and provide controls to download session reports. The following illustration and table describe the layout of the Session Reports view.

Pane Description

1 Session Reports Provides controls to set up searches for session reports and save session reports to a *.csv file. For additional information, see “Retrieving Session Reports” on page 49 and “Exporting Session Reports” on page 50.

2 Summary Displayed after you submit a search for reports. Shows information about all open sessions of the retrieved time period in an overview table (Mandate, User, Minimum Sessions, Average Sessions, Maximum Sessions) and provides a control to download the session report. For additional information, see “Viewing Session Reports and Details” on page 49 and “Exporting Session Reports” on page 50.

48

Retrieving Session ReportsThe Session Reports pane provides controls to set up searches for session reports. The default setting of the calender controls is current day (Start Time) and current system time when you opened the Session Reports view (End Time).

To retrieve session reports:

1. Set the report period:

t To create a report for the current day, leave the calendar settings unchanged.

t To change the default report period, click the Select Date icon beside the Start Time or End Time field, adapt the date and time settings and click Set in the calendar control.

Information in the Summary pane

The Summary pane is displayed after each search for reports. It displays the following information in an overview table:

3 Details Displayed after you submit a search for reports with the “Show Details” flag set. Shows additional information about all open sessions of the retrieved time period in an overview table (StartTime, EndTime). For additional information, see “Viewing Session Reports and Details” on page 49.

Pane Description

Column Info

Mandate Displays the ID of the user that performed a mandate login; otherwise the column is empty.

User Displays the ID of the user. For data privacy reasons, IDs of personal user accounts are not used for reporting; therefore, the empty User line aggregates the sessions of all personal users.

The system service accounts are listed in the Users column. Which system services are used for reporting can be configured in MAM System Administrator > profile UserManagementWS > section SessionLogging > key SystemAccounts.

Minimum Sessions Minimum number of sessions opened for the user in the retrieved period.

Average Sessions Average number of sessions opened for the user in the retrieved period.

Maximum Sessions Maximum number of sessions opened for the user in the retrieved period.

49

Information in the Details pane

The Details pane is only displayed after running a search with an active “Show Details” flag. In addition to what is shown in the Summary pane, it displays the following information in an overview table:

Exporting Session ReportsYou can save session reports as described in the following procedures.

To export session reports recorded since system setup:

1. Click the Save All Reports As CSV File icon in the Session Reports pane.

The File Download dialog opens.

2. Save the report to your local workstation as a Microsoft Excel CSV file.

Detailed session report information (Start Time, End Time, Mandate, User, number of Minimum/Average/Maximum Sessions) recorded since your MAM System was set up is written to the CSV file. Therefore this file can become quite large.

To export session reports recorded during a defined period:

1. Set up and run a session report search for the desired period in the Session Reports pane.

2. Click the Save Reports As CSV File icon in the Summary pane.


3. Save the report to your local workstation as a Microsoft Excel CSV file.

8 Exporting and Importing User Management Data

As an alternative to creating User Management data completely from scratch, User Manager provides an export/import feature that allows you to reuse the User Management data in another MAM installation. This feature eases your work when setting up a new system or updating an existing installation.

When exporting User Management data, dependencies between the User Management entities are regarded. Selecting an element for export in the Export view enforces its dependencies, meaning the dependent entities are automatically selected; for example, if you select a group, all assigned tenants and rights are automatically selected.

When importing previously exported User Management data you can determine the effects by selecting an Overwrite flag, if needed.

The following topics provide information about the basic actions you can perform when exporting and importing User Management data:

• Layout of the Export View

• Understanding Export Dependencies

• Exporting User Management Data

• Layout of the Import View

• Understanding Import Effects

• Importing User Management Data

Layout of the Export ViewThe Export view includes five panes that display information about the User Management data and provide controls to select and export User Management data. The following illustration and table describe the layout of the Export view.

Understanding Export DependenciesWhen exporting User Management data, the following dependencies between User Management entities are regarded:

• Users have Groups and Rights as dependent entities

• Groups have Tenants and Rights as dependent entities

• Tenants have Rights as dependent entities

• Rights do not have any dependent entities

When selecting an element for export in the Export view its dependencies are enforced, meaning the check boxes of the dependent entities are automatically selected and cannot be deselected; for example, if you select a group, all assigned tenants and rights are also selected and cannot be deselected. Vice versa, if you deselect a determining entity (for example, a group), the dependent

Pane Description

1 Users Lists all internal users of the system and provides controls to select them for the export. All check boxes are deselected by default. For additional information, see “Exporting User Management Data” on page 53.

n Only internal users can be exported — not those from an external backend.

2 Groups Lists all groups of the system and provides controls to select them for the export. All check boxes are deselected by default.

3 Tenants Lists all tenants of the system and provides controls to select them for the export. All check boxes are deselected by default.

4 Rights Lists all rights of the system grouped by their categories and provides controls to select them for export. All check boxes are deselected by default.

5 Export Controls Provides controls to include user groups, clear selections, and initiate the export process.

52

entities are “active” again, but stay selected. Exception: For users you have to enforce the application of their dependencies by selecting the “Include User’s Groups” option. For additional information, see “Exporting User Management Data” on page 53.

The following table explains that data that is and is not exported.

Exporting User Management DataExport User Management data for reuse in another MAM installation as described in the following procedure.

To export User Management data:


t Select individual entities for export by selecting the check boxes in the Users, Groups, Tenants, or Rights panes.

Entity What is exported and what is not

Users The following data is exported for users:

• All standard user properties including ID, Name, E-mail, Culture, Description, and the encrypted password

• Extended user properties, if set

• All assigned user rights (including the assignment to the user)

The following data is NOT automatically exported:

• Assigned groups (inclusively the assignment to the user), unless you specifically select the option “Include users' groups”

Groups The following data is exported for groups:

• All standard group properties, including ID, Name, and Description

• All related Tenants (inclusively the assignment to this group). They are exported even if not selected for export.

• All assigned group rights (including the assignment to the group)


• Assigned users unless you specifically select them for export

Tenants The following data is exported for tenants:

• All standard tenant properties, including ID, Name, and Description

• All assigned tenant rights (including the assignment to the tenant)


• Assigned groups unless you specifically select them for export

Rights The following data is exported for rights:

• All standard right properties, including ID and Description


• No related entities are exported unless you specifically select them for export

53

t Select all entities for export by selecting the “(all)” check boxes in the Users, Groups, Tenants, or Rights panes.

The dependencies of the selected entities are enforced, meaning the check boxes of the dependent entities are automatically selected and cannot be deselected.

- Selecting a group automatically selects the dependent Tenants and Rights

- Selecting a Tenant automatically selects the dependent Rights (if assigned)

2. (Option) To export the dependent entities of users, select the Include Users’ Groups check box.

The dependent Groups, Tenants, and Rights of the selected users are automatically selected and disabled.

3. (Option) To correct your selection, do the following:

a. Do one of the following:

t Deselect a determining entity in the Users, Groups, or Tenants panes.

t Deselect the Include Users’ Groups check box.

The check boxes of the dependent entities are “active” again, but stay selected.

b. Deselect additional check boxes.

4. Click Export.


5. Save the data as *.xml file.

The data of the selected and dependent entities are written to the *.xml file. For additional information, see “Understanding Export Dependencies” on page 52.

Layout of the Import ViewThe Import view includes six panes that display information about the import User Management data and provide controls to select and import User Management data. The Import view is empty until you select an import file. Having loaded an import file, its User Management data is displayed in the panes of the Import view.

The following illustration and table describe the layout of the Import view.

54

Understanding Import EffectsDependencies between User Management entities are not enforced when imported — in contrast to the User Management data export (see “Understanding Export Dependencies” on page 52). There is only one dependency that is regarded:

• You cannot unassign a group from its tenant manually (but you can overwrite the assignment since this is considered as a property)

Before starting the import you can set an “Overwrite entity data” flag. For additional information, see “Importing User Management Data” on page 56. This has the following consequence:

• Overwriting only refers to entity properties (the description of a user account, for example) but not to the relation of the entity (the assignment of a user to a group, for example)

• Relations of entities are only added, never removed

Pane Description

1 Browse Provides controls to select the import file and set the Overwrite flag. For additional information, see “Understanding Import Effects” on page 55.

2 Users Lists all users saved in the import file. All check boxes are selected by default. For additional information, see “Importing User Management Data” on page 56.

n Only internal users can be imported — not those from an external backend.

3 Groups Lists all groups saved in the import file. All check boxes are selected by default.

4 Tenants Lists all tenants saved in the import file. All check boxes are selected by default.

5 Rights Lists all rights saved in the import file. All check boxes are selected by default.

6 Import Controls Provides controls to clear selections and initiate the import process.

55

The following table explains which data is imported and illustrates the effects of the “Overwrite” flag.

Importing User Management DataImport User Management data exported from another MAM installation to ease your system setup as described in the following procedure.

To import User Management data:

1. Click Browse in the Browse pane.

The Choose File to Upload dialog opens.

2. Select the User Management data file to be imported and click Open.

Entity What is imported and what is overwritten

Users The following data is imported for users (“Overwrite” flag not set):

• Standard properties, including the encrypted password, are only imported if the existing ones are empty

• Extended properties are only added if they do not exist, and are only set if existing ones are empty

• All assigned user rights are imported and added, unless a right is deselected

• All group assignments are imported and added, unless a group is deselected

The set “Overwrite” flag has the following effect on user properties:

• All standard properties are overwritten

• Extended properties are cleared before new ones are imported

Groups The following data is imported for groups (“Overwrite” flag not set):

• Standard properties are only imported if the existing ones are empty

• All tenant assignments are imported and added, unless a tenant is deselected

• All assigned group rights are imported and added, unless a right is deselected

The set “Overwrite” flag has the following effect on group properties:

• All standard properties, including the tenant assignment, are overwritten

Tenants The following data is imported for tenants (“Overwrite” flag not set):


• All assigned tenant rights are imported and added, unless a right is deselected

The set “Overwrite” flag has the following effect on tenant properties:

• All standard properties, including the group assignment, are overwritten

Rights The following data is imported for rights (“Overwrite” flag not set):


• All selected rights are imported and added

The set “Overwrite” flag has the following effect on right properties:

• All standard properties are overwritten

56

The dialog is closed; the User Management data saved in the import file are displayed in the Import view. The check boxes of all data are selected.

3. (Option) Change the default import selection by deselecting the check boxes of data that is not to be imported. There is no enforcement of dependent entities in the Import view; this means that you must manually deselect all unnecessary data.

4. (Option) Select the Overwrite Entity Data check box in the Browse pane to overwrite properties of existing User Management entities with the import data.

5. Click Import.

- If you set the “Overwrite” flag a security prompt opens. Confirm with OK to continue.

- If the “Overwrite” flag is not set the import starts immediately.

The selected data is imported. For information about the effects of an import, see “Understanding Import Effects” on page 55. After the import is finished an “Import completed successfully” message is displayed in the Import Controls pane.

A Synopsis: User Management Rights

Interplay MAM provides a list of predefined rights that can be assigned to user groups with MAM User Manager. As various applications require and check the same rights, the rights are grouped by logical functions. These groups are called categories. Since the categories are also used as a prefix to the specific rights-key, a complete rights-key consists of two parts: the category and the specific right.

The following table lists the categories that are available by default.

n Depending on the installed MAM packages additional categories might be shown in your environment.
