The following user account types exist in TIBCO Nimbus® . Process Authors Users responsible for the creation, editing and management (reviews, authorizations) of process content held within the Process Repository. Process Authors have access to both the Author Client and Web Client. Process Authors with the Administrator role allow these users to perform the same tasks as the Administrator user account in previous versions of Nimbus®, for example they have access to all functionality in Nimbus®, and they can undertake administrative tasks and integrate with third-party applications. Contributors Consumers of processes and related content who have access to the Web Server. Contributors have limited access to functionality through the Web Server, however a contributor’s capability can be augmented by additional licenses of one or more modules. •Contributors with the Action Module have access to the action management functionality. This means that they can view actions, have actions assigned to them and create new actions. •Contributors with the Change Module have access to authorizations and reviews, and can manage access rights and unlock diagrams that they own. This means that they can be requested to authorize and review process content. Additionally, contributors with this module can view the cost of central resources, access scenario maps, and access the Maps page in the web. If the license permits it, these users also have access to the Author Client (please contact Technical Support if the contributor requires access to the Author Client). However, without this module, contributors can still be requested to acknowledge process content, and they can also view and add change requests and feedback. •Contributors (which now includes Mobile Module) can download storyboards and associated attachments from the Web Server to the TIBCO Nimbus® Player Desktop Edition, iPhone, iPad and iPod.
