Adding a Developer User
A developer can use Software AG Designer to view, create, modify, and delete packages, folders, services, and other elements that reside on the server. Before the server allows a connection from Designer, it ensures that the user has developer privileges.
A user has developer privileges if he or she belongs to the Developers group or to any other group added to the Allow List of the Developers ACL. To determine if a user has developer privileges, the server authenticates the user to obtain their user name. (For information about how the server determines the user name, see
Customizing Authentication Using
JAAS.) After determining the user name, the server determines if the user belongs to a group that is allowed and does not belong to any group that is denied access by the Developers ACL. If so, the server allows the connection between
Designer and the server to be established.
To grant developer privileges to a user, you must assign that user to the Developers group or to a group you have added to the Allow list of the Developers ACL. In addition, you must make sure the user is not a member of a group that is denied access by the Developer ACL.
Important: | List, Read, and Write ACLs are a mechanism for protecting against accidental tampering or destruction of elements. A developer making a deliberate attempt can bypass this mechanism. Do not rely on ACLs for protection in a hostile environment. |
Important: | The user to whom you want to grant developer privileges must already have a user account on the Integration Server. If the user does not already have a user account, create one for the user before you perform the following steps. |
To grant developer privileges to a user
1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Security menu of the Navigation panel, click User Management.
Under Local User Management, in the Groups area of the screen (on the right) contains two lists. Users in this Group is a list of users currently in the selected group. Remaining Users is a list of users not currently in the selected group.
3. In the Groups area of the screen, in the Select group list, select Developers.
4. In the Remaining Users list, select (highlight) the user or users to whom you want to grant developer privileges.
To select additional users without deselecting currently selected users, press the CTRL key while you click on the users you want to select. To deselect a user, press the CTRL key while you click the currently selected entry.
5. After you have selected all the users you want to add to the group, click 
. The server moves the selected users to the Users Currently in this Group list. 6. Click Save Changes.
