Ensure that your network environment meets the requirements in this section for accessing and using the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Web Interface.
Access to features is role-based. You must have a PTM user account and be assigned to a role with permissions for your project. A user with the PTM System Administrator role or a member of the Administrators group can create PTM users and assign roles to them. A Project Manager can also create users and assign them to roles in their project. For information about PTM roles, see Section 7.3, Roles. For information about creating and managing PTM user accounts, see Section 9.0, Managing Users.
During the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance installation, Transformation Manager automatically configures the default ports shown inn Table 4-1 on the PTM Appliance. Ensure that you open the ports in any firewalls in your network between the PlateSpin Server and the computers you use to access the Web Interface.
NOTE:For remote communications, Micro Focus recommends that you use the secure port and SSL options for accessing the Web Interface.
