Stat 6.0 - System Administration Guide

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 Directory	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.

In the User Maintenance window, click New.

A blank row appears at the bottom of the user table.

In the User ID field, type a 1-10 character code which uniquely identifies the user.

Specify the required values for the user as described in the preceding table.

Specify any optional values for the user as described in the preceding table.

Click Apply.

Stat automatically displays the current date and time in the Last Update field and your user ID in the Update By field.

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.

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:

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.

Specify the user ID, first and last names of the new user. Then click OK.

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.

The User Access Information Window

The Access Information... button opens the User Access Information window. The window features tabs in which you can do the following:


Tab	Description
Service Domain Access Tab	Grant users access to a service domain by assigning them to user classes for that particular service domain.
PS Options Tab (PeopleSoft only)	Define the PeopleSoft Operator IDs and passwords that the selected user will need to physically lock PeopleSoft proprietary objects.
User File Directories Tab	Define the selected user’s working file directory for each file type as well as the user’s default working directory.
Queue Assignment Tab	Add and remove the selected user from work queues.
Application Access Tab	Restrict a user’s access to only specified applications while working within certain service domains.
Object Type Access Tab	Restrict a user’s access to only specified object types while operating within a certain change management module and service domain.
Environment Access Tab	Restrict a user’s ability to migrate objects to only specified environments while operating within a certain change management module and service domain.
Server Access Tab	Restrict a user’s access to file servers when running pre and post migration steps.
Pre/Post Migration User Parameters Tab	Define public user-based parameters that can be included in the definition of post migration command steps.


	TIP: After defining the access settings of one user, you can use that user as the source for the synchronizing the access settings of multiple users. For more information, see Synchronizing User Access Information .

Except for the PS Options and User File Directories tabs, each tab in the User Access Information window displays two lists of access rights. The right side shows all the access rights currently assigned to the user, while the left side shows a tree view of all the unassigned rights organized by service domain (except in the case of the File Server tab). Each group of unassigned rights displays the number of rights it contains. A bold number indicates that all the rights in the group are currently unassigned to the user, while no number indicates that all the rights are currently assigned to the user. The total number of access rights assigned and unassigned to a user is shown above each respective list. Double-click a group of unassigned rights to expand it, or use the Expand All button.
