Editing User Class Rights

You can edit the security rights of a selected user class by clicking Edit Rights... in the User Class Maintenance window. Stat displays the User Class Rights window.

The User Class Rights window displays two tree list views of rights, which are grouped into categories corresponding to functional areas within in Stat. The right side shows all the rights currently assigned to the class, while the left side shows all the unassigned rights. Each group displays the number of rights it contains in relation to its corresponding group. For example, if 15 of the total 33 CSR Edit rights are assigned to a class, the CSR Edits group in the unassigned list will display the number 18 (no number indicates that all the rights are contained in the corresponding group). The total number of rights assigned and unassigned to a class is shown above each list. Double-click a group to expand it, or use the Expand All button.

Be aware of the following when editing user class rights:

•
Some user class rights are specific to service domains. Users that belong to a user class with service domain-specific rights (for example, the right to migrate archive sets) can invoke these rights only within the service domains that the user class is associated with. Rights that are not service domain-specific, however, can be used in any service domain that the user is allowed to work in. For example, the user class right, Undocumented Patch Wizard - Run, is not service domain-specific. This means users that have this right in one service domain can run the wizard in all the service domains they can access, including those in which the right is not given.
•
Certain object management functions in Stat, such as running wizards, require the user possess two rights, one to perform the function itself, and a second right to access the appropriate change management module. For example, to run the Archive Purge Wizard in the PeopleSoft change management module, the user needs the right, Obj Archive Purge Wizard - Run, and the right to access the PeopleSoft module, Change Management Module Access - PS. The remaining module access rights include Change Management Module Access - Generic Apps and Change Management Module Access - Oracle Apps.

To assign or unassign a right, select it and use the arrow buttons to move it between the two lists. Then click OK.

* 
NOTE: In general, if a user class has an Add right, this overrides the absence of an Edit right. For example, if a user class has the right, Activity Codes - Add, the user class also has the right to edit existing records, even if the class has not been granted the right, Activity Codes - Edit.

For a complete description of each user class right, see Appendix: User Class Rights .

Defining Stat Users

Defining Stat Users

Before users can work in Stat, they must be defined in the User Maintenance table. This table contains all the information about the user that Stat requires.

User account security is controlled by the following user class rights:

•
Stat Users - Add
•
Stat Users - Edit
* 
NOTE: You can grant users the right to reset the passwords of other Stat users by giving one of the user classes to which they belong the user class right, Stat Users - Reset Password. It is not necessary that you also grant them adding or editing rights. In this case, users can reset passwords by selecting User Options | Passwords | Administer Passwords.

The User Maintenance table is displayed in a standard maintenance window. To open this window, select Maintenance | Security Settings | User Maintenance, or select User Options | User Maintenance.

Included in this section are descriptions of the user password settings defined in the System table. The System table is described in the section, System Maintenance , but due to their relevance to Stat security, the user password settings are also addressed here.

Values
Description

Active

Indicates if this user is allowed to log in.

NOTE: The number of active users cannot exceed the number stipulated in your license agreement.

User ID
(Key Value)

A 1 to 10 character value that uniquely identifies this user. This is the login ID.

Last Name
(Required Value)

The user's last name

NOTE: Each user must have a unique Last Name/First Name combination of values.

First Name
(Required Value)

The user's first name

Title
(Required Value)

The user's title

License Type
(Required Value)

Determines whether the user is licensed as a Technical user with full access to Stat or as a Functional user, which has limited access and is not allowed to perform object management tasks. For more information, see Users Tab .

Rpt Access
(Required Value)

The user's report access level. This value must be greater than or equal to the security level of the report for the user to view it.

Warn
(Required Value)

Number which determines the user’s warning (yellow) threshold on the Enterprise Console. For more information see the book, Stat User Guide, Chapter 4, “Stat Consoles.”

Critical
(Required Value)

Number that determines the user’s critical (red) threshold on the Enterprise Console. For more information see the book, Stat User Guide, Chapter 4, “Stat Consoles.”

Mobile Nbr

The user's mobile telephone number

Phone Nbr

The user's telephone number

Phone Ext

The user's telephone extension

E-mail Address
(Required Value)

The user's e-mail address.

NOTE: This value is required so that new users and users whose passwords have been reset can receive an auto-generated email from Stat containing a temporary password. The one exception to this is the default SYSTEM account, which does not have an email address assigned to it when Stat is first installed. It is recommended that you assign it an address so that Stat can deliver an email with a temporary password to that address if the original password must be reset for any reason.

Log Destination Directory

The directory where Stat writes migration logs. The default is C:\Temp\

Related Objects

If selected, Stat prompts the user to insert related objects into the CSR

Default Module

The default value displayed in Module fields on CSRs. Options include PeopleSoft, Oracle Applications, and Generic.

Default PS
Version

The default value displayed in PS Version fields on CSRs.

Dictionary
Language

The language dictionary used for spell checking purposes. Options include English (US), English (UK), English (Canada), French, and German. Default is English (U.S.).

User Dictionary

The location of the user-assigned dictionary files, correct.tlx and userdic.tlx. Default is STATHOME. For more information see the book, Stat User Guide, Chapter 3, “Change/Service Requests.”

Enable LDAP
(Read Only)

If selected, allows the user to login to Stat using his or her LDAP password. This value is set in LDAP Connection Maintenance table. The passwords for LDAP users cannot be reset from within Stat. For more information, see LDAP Connection Maintenance .

User DN
(Read Only)

The directory of the LDAP user account. This field is pre-populated by the value of base DN appended to the template DN specified in the LDAP Connection Maintenance table. You can modify this default value as needed. For more information, see LDAP Connection Maintenance .

Last Update
(Read Only)

The date and time that this record was last updated

Update By
(Read Only)

The user that last updated this record

To add a new Stat user:
* 
NOTE: New users receive an auto-generated password from Stat containing a temporary password. When processing the outbound email, Stat uses the SMTP settings configured in the default service domain of the administrator that defined the new user. If the administrator has not yet been assigned a default service domain, they are prompted to select one when they attempt to save the new user definition.
1
In the User Maintenance window, click New.
A blank row appears at the bottom of the user table.
2
In the User ID field, type a 1-10 character code which uniquely identifies the user.
3
Specify the required values for the user as described in the preceding table.
4
Specify any optional values for the user as described in the preceding table.
5
Click Apply.
Stat automatically displays the current date and time in the Last Update field and your user ID in the Update By field.
6
Click Access Information.... Then in the User Access Information window, specify the access rights you want to assign to the user.
See The User Access Information Window for more information.
7
Click OK.
Stat automatically sends an email to the new user with a temporary password to use the first time they log into Stat. The exact message in the email can be modified on the Reset Password tab of the Electronic Mail Interface - Setup window. See Resetting Password Message for more information.

Copying User Definitions

If you need to define a Stat user whose information closely resembles that of an existing user, you can save time by copying the definition of the existing user and editing the copy as needed. When you copy a user definition, all the information gets copied over, including working directories, access levels, and user class assignments.

To copy a user definition:
1
In the User Maintenance window, select the user definition you want to copy. Then click Copy.
Stat prompts you to specify a user ID and a first and last name for the new user.
2
Specify the user ID, first and last names of the new user. Then click OK.
3
Edit the new user definition as needed.

Resetting Passwords

For non-LDAP enabled users, the Reset Password button resets their password. The user then receives an automatically generated email from Stat containing a temporary password and instructions to change their password at the next login or from the User Options window.

NOTE: When processing the email job, Stat uses the SMTP settings configured in the default service domain of the user resetting the password.
