4.3. Assigning Users to Standard Roles

The process for assigning a user to a standard role is identical whether you are doing it at the organization or application level. While there are differences applied to the scope of access the role will have, these have been outlined in the sections above, and won’t be discussed here. It’s also important to point out that if you have configured LDAP Users or LDAP Groups, those will be returned when searching for users. With all of that out of the way, let’s assign a user to a role.

  1. First, log into the Sonatype CLM Server (by default this is available at http://localhost:8070) using a user account with Admin-level permissions (a member of the Admin Group).
  2. Next, make sure you are in the Organizational Design area. If not, click the Organizational Design icon figs/web/clm-server-organizational-design-icon.png.
  3. Once in the Organizational Design area, click on a specific organization or application, and then click the Security tab.
  4. A list of roles will be displayed, as well as the members of that role.
  5. To edit this list, hover over the role you wish to add a user to, and then click the Edit icon.
  6. To find a user, begin typing the user’s name in the search field. No matter what you type, Sonatype CLM will find the best match, bolding the matched text in both the applied and available columns.
  7. Once you see the user you wish to add in the Available column, click the Plus icon to move them to the Applied column.
  8. Click the Save button to save your changes.

Tip

You may notice that below each user, there is additional information. Most often this is the email. However, to the right of the email you will see the Realm (e.g. CLM). Use this to ensure you add the appropriate account (e.g. when working with CLM the local realm, and LDAP).

Note

To remove users from a role, follow the same process above, just click the Minus icon to move the user from the Applied column to the Available column. However, if the user has been inherited, these must be removed at the organization level, and can be identified by no Minus icon.
