9.1 Administrative Users for the Web Interface

During the initial configuration of PlateSpin Transformation Manager Server, you create a default System Administrator user account for the PTM Server Web Interface. The login credentials are the email address and password you assigned for this user. PTM assigns the user to the System Administrator role and adds it as a default member of the Administrators group. The user has global permissions for all organizations, projects, and features throughout the Web Interface. The user cannot be deleted.

Log in to the Web Interface as the System Administrator user to set up other user accounts, as well as organizations and groups. To grant Administrator privileges to a trusted user, add the user account to the Administrators group.

NOTE:Members of the Administrators group inherit the System Administrator role and will also have global permissions in the Web Interface. Members can manage membership in the Administrators group, but they cannot remove the System Administrator user as a member and cannot delete the group.

You might need to add a new System Administrator user to the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Server if you forget the username and password for the initial System Administrator, or if that initial user is no longer available to manage the PTM Server application. The new user has the same global privileges as the default System Administrator user.

To add a System Administrator user for the PTM Web Interface:

  1. Log in to the Appliance Management Console as the vaadmin user.

  2. Under PlateSpin Transformation Manager Tools, click Configuration .

  3. On the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Configuration page, select Administrative Users.

  4. Provide the full name, a valid email address that is unique to your PlateSpin Transformation Manager environment, and a password for this user.

  5. Click Submit.
