Users, Groups, and Permissions

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator supports centralized authentication and authorization.

A user is a person that has an authentication credential. A group is a collection of users. Authorization (or permission) to access and act upon objects can be assigned to both users and groups. Using Administrator, a user with the appropriate permissions can define which users and groups should have access to Administrator features and runtime objects.

Authorization for all runtime objects is provided by the Administrator server. Hence, a server must be running and connectivity must be available from each node for any kind of management action on the nodes.

Users and groups can be searched for, viewed, and optionally edited. The asterisk wildcard is supported in all search areas in Users and Groups. The availability of editing functionality depends on the type of authentication realm you have chosen

  • Database Realm Read-write access provided within Administrator.
  • LDAP Realm Read-only access provided within Administrator. Edit functionality must go through the tools provided by your LDAP vendor.
