| # Overview The Object Data Management authorization mechanism uses Object Data Management user roles to determine the operations that individual users can perform. Object Data Management user roles are created and maintained in the Roles (tcppl0160m000) session, and are not connected with the LN system roles. Each Object Data Management user is assigned one or more Object Data Management user roles, for example, engineer or supervisor. Users are identified and assigned user roles according to their LN employee code. You can use the Object Data Management user roles in several ways in Object Data Management. For example, if you select a reviewer for a change request, you must select a user role, and not an individual user. Employee Codes and Login IDs If an LN administrator assigns an employee code to a user, the administrator must register the user as LN user in the standard Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session. In other words, the ODM administrator must register the employee code in the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session for all users who are to work in Object Data Management. This registration enables Object Data Management to identify the employee code of users, according to the employees’ individual login IDs. Note In this document, as well as in other ODM-related documents, LN users are often referred to as employees rather than users. To maintain the list of login IDs and corresponding employee codes To maintain the list of login IDs and the corresponding employee codes, on the Object Data Management menu, double-click ODM Configuration > Authorizations > Employees > General to start the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, which includes a list of all login codes (login IDs) and corresponding employee codes that are already registered. To register the login code and corresponding employee code for a user, take the following steps: In the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, on the File menu, click New. A new record appears. Enter the employee code and name in the new record. Enter other details, such as the language and logon code. Other fields, such as Department, Labor Rate, Cost Component, Calendar, and so on are optional. Save the record after you enter all the details. |
