Access Rights

Control the authorized users for administration of the Personalization Server and define who can access and change Environment Manager console settings.

The user that configures the Personalization Server Configuration Portal is automatically added to the database as a Master Administrator. Initially this is the only user that can connect to the database through the console. This user can then add users to the database.

Any user can be added and deleted but at least one Master Administrator must always be defined. Users who are not defined here cannot connect their console to the Personalization Server. This only applies to the console and not managed users logging onto endpoints.

In this section:

User Roles

Administrator

The Administrator role provides access to the functionality in the Environment Manager Console. Administrators also have access to the Advanced Mode of the Endpoint Self-Service Tool when the tool is enabled for a Personalization Group. Administrators cannot manage or assign other user roles.

Master Administrator

The Master Administrator role allows the user to manage roles assignment and provides full access to the Environment Manager Console and Browser Interface functionality. Master Administrators also have access to the Advanced Mode of the Endpoint Self-Service Tool when the tool is enabled for a Personalization Group. At least one Master Administrator must always be defined.

Support Console

The Support Console provides read-only access to Environment Manager Personalization configurations and allows users to view Personalization Analysis reports. Support Console users can also use the associated analysis functionality, such as rolling back application settings. Using this role, support teams can safely carry out routine maintenance for end users in a restricted environment, without full access to modify the configuration.

When a user with a Support Console role connects, functionality to modify the personalization configuration is automatically disabled and the console changes to a blue color scheme.

Application Team

The Application Team console offers limited access to Environment Manager Personalization configurations and allows users to add, modify and delete applications and Application Groups and view Personalization Analysis reports. Application Team users can also use Personalization Analysis functionality, such as rolling back application settings and converting discovered applications.

When a user with the Application Team role connects, functionality to modify some of the personalization configuration is automatically disabled and the console changes to a blue color scheme.
