Add Members to Application Policies

Application Policies determine how users are allowed to interact with the Eclipse PPM application as a whole. They are often reserved for users that are expected to be more than just Resources on Projects and Tasks, such as administrators. Members of these policies will be given the ability to interact with Eclipse PPM components outside of specific Projects.

Members can be added to Application Policies at any time. New members will automatically receive each permission outlined in the policy.

Note: Users must logout and back into Eclipse PPM in order to receive any updated permissions. Be sure to notify them once you save your policy.

Tip: See Edit an Application Policy if you are interested in editing more than just the members of an Application Policy.

 

To add members to an Application Policy:

Before You Start: Users require the "Users Administration" permission from an Application Policy to edit Application Policies.

Additionally, it would be wise to create some User Groups of users who should share similar permissions. This way, the User Group as a whole can be added to the Application Policy while adding members, saving you from having to constantly add members one-by-one.

1. Select the Administration icon from the Icon Bar.

   

2. Select Policies from the "Security" menu.

   

3. Select the drop-down button of the Application Policy you would like to edit the members of.

   

4. Select Add Members.

   

5. Type the name of a user or User Group into the text box and select it from the suggestion list to add it to the policy. Repeat this until all of your desired users and User Groups have been added.

   

6. Select the Save button.

   

After selecting Save, all of the new members will be saved to the Application Policy. Each member will automatically receive the permissions selected in the policy.

Note: Users must logout and back into Eclipse PPM in order to receive any updated permissions. Be sure to notify them once you save your policy.
