Assign Users to Roles

After you create users and roles, you can assign users to roles. On the Users page, all users in the Galaxy and the roles they are assigned are listed.

New users are automatically associated with the Default role (every user must belongs to the Default role). To assign additional roles to a user, select the checkbox for the role while the user name is highlighted.

Note: All users are automatically assigned to the Default role in addition to any new roles you create and assign to them. The best way to manage permissions is to limit the permissions of the Default role to those permissions you want everyone to have. Then, add users to other roles with permissions for other parts of Application Server.

The Administrator user can log on any authentication mode except when security is disabled. When you are logged in as Administrator on the Galaxy Repository node, you can change the password of any Galaxy user without providing the old password.

• In Galaxy authentication mode, you can edit the User Name in the Change Password dialog box.

• In OS-based authentication modes, the User Name of the OS user is shown. User information cannot be edited.

You can assign users to more than one role.

To assign a role to a user

1. From the ribbon, select Galaxy, select Configure, and then select Security. The Security page appears.

2. Select the Users tab.

   Note: The Change Password button is displayed only if Galaxy authentication mode is selected.

   

3. Select the user in the Authorized Users available area. Select a role in the Associated Roles for <user name> area.

   Every user is assigned to the Default role. Add other roles that they need to perform their job functions.

4. Provide each user with a password. Make sure that you set new passwords for the Administrator and DefaultUser accounts.

   • If you are using Galaxy Authentication Mode, select Change Password. The Change Password dialog box appears.

     

     You can leave the Old Password field blank when you initially set the password for the Administrator and DefaultUser accounts.

   • If you are using an OS-based security mode, use the Windows Control Panel to manage passwords.

   Important: If an OS-based security mode is selected on the Authentication Mode page, changing a user’s password changes the OS password for the user. Any System Platform password may be set to a maximum of 127 characters.

5. When you have finished configuring users, select OK. The security information is used in the configuration, administration and run-time environment to authenticate users.
