User Rights Management
Setting up your user rights management system
Once the Policy Store repository has been created, the system administrator must populate it
with role definitions, and role assignments that are appropriate for your organization’s workflow
and security policies.
The procedure below identifies the high-level steps involved in setting up your user rights
management system in the Authorization Manager. Subsequent sections (identified by the
links within the procedure) provide step-by-step instructions for performing each step.

The VertigoXmedia application that was added to the Policy Store already contains all of the
operation definitions that should be needed to operate the Vertigo Suite applications.
To set up the Authorization Manager’s Policy Store for your user rights management
model:
1.
Establish your organization’s user rights management model and policies to get a better
idea of what tasks, and roles need to be created for the Policy Store.
See
“Establish your user rights management security criteria” on page 19-36
.
2.
Create task definitions that group together the VertigoXmedia application’s operation
definitions and/or lower-level task definitions into logical sets.
See
“Creating a new task definition” on page 19-37
.
3.
Create role definitions that group together task definitions, operation definitions, and/or
lower-level role definitions that are based upon job functions in your organization’s workflow.
See
“Creating and populating a new role definition” on page 19-38
.
4.
Create role assignments that allow you to map Windows users and/or groups with role
definitions. See
“Creating a new role assignment” on page 19-40
.
5.
Assign users to the role assignments.
See
“Associating Windows users and groups with a role assignment” on page 19-41
