How to Map Users to the WelcomeUsers Organization Model

This tutorial demonstrates how to use TIBCO Openspace as an administrator to map a user to a position in the organization model. The user can then log on to the WelcomeUsers application, and process work items.

Prerequisites

Complete the tutorial: How to Implement and Deploy the WelcomeUsers Application.

The example EasyAs Insurance Company data must be available in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) shared resource. LDAP is a protocol that can query and modify a directory. See Create a LDAP Container.

Work through each section in turn to complete the tutorial.

Map users to either a group or a position in the organization model to define the following:

  • The logon credentials for the user.
  • The work items that a user can receive and process.

At the end of this tutorial, you should be familiar with the following:

  • How to log on to Openspace and start the Organization Browser.
  • How to create a LDAP container.
  • How to map a user from a LDAP container to the organization model.

What to do next

The tutorial: Run the WelcomeUsers Application demonstrates how a user can access the WelcomeUsers application, and process work items.

  1. Log on to Openspace and Start the Organization Browser
    Openspace is a web application that allows users to work with process and work management applications, for example, to process work items or start business services.
  2. Create an LDAP Container
    LDAP containers are a collection of one or more LDAP sources. An LDAP source represents an LDAP server, which holds information about potential resources. LDAP resources include users who might need to use or participate in ActiveMatrix BPM applications.
  3. Map a User to the Tester Position in the Organization Model
    ActiveMatrix BPM applications generate work items, and send them to organization model entities, such as groups, organization units, and positions.
  4. Log off from Openspace
    Always log off when work is complete. This prevents others from performing work with your login credentials.
