Security for P2 Explorer is managed by the P2 Security application.\u00a0In P2 Security, users are placed in roles to determine the level of access they have in P2 Explorer.<\/p>\n
Read more: Application and Global Roles<\/a><\/p>\n P2 Explorer has 3\u00a0application roles:<\/p>\n Additionally, P2 Server has 2 application roles that provide additional permissions for P2 Explorer users:<\/p>\n The process of configuring an application role is the same for all application roles.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: If you are mapping\u00a0a new application role, affected users will need to log out and then log back in again for the changes to take effect.<\/p>\n An application role must first be mapped to a global role before users can be added. In this example, we're going to map the Explorer Administrators application role to a global role called \"Administrators\". Then we're going to add some users to the Administrator global role. These users will then all be Explorer Administrators. This is a 3-step process as follows:<\/p>\n If the Explorer Administrators application role is already mapped in your system, you may skip ahead to Step 3.<\/p>\n 1. In P2 Security, click Global Roles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 2. Click the Add 3. In the Add Global Role<\/strong> box, type the display name, internal name (must be unique), and a description as follows:<\/p>\n 4. Click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Administrator global role is now created.\u00a0<\/p>\n 1. In P2 Security, click Role Mappings<\/strong> on the left.<\/p>\n 2. In the Applications\u00a0<\/strong>box on the left, click the name of your Explorer application (e.g. P2.Explorer - cadrondemo01).<\/p>\n You may need to wait a few seconds for the rest of the screen to refresh with the roles for the chosen application.<\/p>\n 3. In the Application roles<\/strong> box on the right, click Explorer Administrator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 4. In the Other global roles<\/strong> box on the right, click the role you just created (Administrator<\/strong>).<\/p>\n 5. Click the left arrow 6. Once this role has been mapped (see screenshot below), click the Save<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n You have now mapped the Explorer Administrators application role to the Administrator global role.<\/p>\n If you want to assign P2 Server roles to users, repeat steps 2-6 and select the P2 Server application in step 2 instead.<\/span><\/p>\n Now comes the fun part \u2014\u00a0adding users so they can become Explorer Administrators.<\/p>\n Note: This step assumes that the user has already been added to the system.<\/p>\n 1. In P2 Security, click User Roles<\/strong> on the left.<\/p>\n 2. From the Global Roles<\/strong> drop-down list, select Administrator.<\/p>\n 3. On the right, under Other Users<\/strong>, click the user who you want to become an administrator.<\/p>\n 4. Click the left arrow 5. Once this user\u00a0has been mapped (see screenshot below), click the Save<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n
