Database users

Each Rational® Synergy database has a list of users. After you unpack a database from base.cpk, the list contains suggestions of user roles that you might want to give to users of a database. Each user list needs to contain the team members who can use the database. First, add user names to the list of users for each Rational Synergy database. Then, give each user at least one role to define user capabilities within a Rational Synergy database. Before you assign user names, determine whether to use automatic email notification. To use the automatic email notification feature, verify that your email tool can recognize the OS user name and deliver mail to the appropriate address.

A user can have multiple roles within a single database. For example, user sue might have the role of writer and developer.

Users who run web-mode sessions must be added to the RDS and to the Rational Synergy databases. For information about adding users to RDS, see the Administrating section of the Rational Synergy Information center.

Roles identify which privileges a user has within a database. For example, if user sue is only given the developer role, she can perform all developer operations. However, she cannot perform any build_mgr operations. The ccm_admin role is only used in Synergy Classic and CLI.

Note: Users with the ccm_admin role can perform administrative actions on a database, and have the right to modify any and every object in a database. Limit access to this role and to the Rational Synergy administrator to users who specifically need this level of access. Although ccm_root has all role, it might or might not display in the users file list of roles.
