Manage User Profiles

Adding Permissions

When it comes to Operations, Monitoring, and Analytics, administrators can set up different authorizations. These authorizations can be provided by selecting the predefined profile templates, custom profile templates, or by selecting individual modules as shown below.

Note: In the User Permission - Features section, you will find sections for Operations, Monitoring, and Analytics. By default, access to Host Instances, Application artifacts, and Service Instances is read-only. If a user should be able to act on either of these, you should select the appropriate option in the 'Manage' pane.

Predefined Templates

BizTalk360 comes with three predefined profile templates that the user can select for providing access to the features. These templates come as part of the BizTalk360 installation. They are denoted with suffixes as ‘System Predefined’ in the drop-down in the Add permissions section. When the template is chosen, the corresponding features get selected.

The predefined templates are:

• View only modules - Choosing this template will provide read-only access to few features in BizTalk360This will be helpful for the Level 1 support team
• Limited operation access - This provides access for the users to operate on Host Instance, applications, and service instances
• Full access to all modules - As the name implies, the user will have access to all the features when this template is chosen

Custom Profile Templates

To provide access to similar features to multiple users, custom profile templates can be created. The users may belong to different groups yet require similar permissions to access BizTalk360. In this case, the custom template can be selected from the drop-down and given access to users easily.
You can create custom templates by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Log in to the application (as a Super User)
2. Select an environment from the environmental panel
3. Click Settings from the left menu bar 
4. Click Team management from the left menu bar
5. Click the Manage User Profiles option
6. Create a new template or edit/delete an already created template

A custom template can be created by providing a name to the template and selecting the features to be added to the template. With this feature, for each custom template, you can select particular permissions and store them as a custom template.

Once the custom templates are created, they will be available in the drop-down in the User Permissions - Features section, where the user can choose the custom template and provide access to the users/groups. Based on the selected custom template, the corresponding features in the template will be available for the users to access.
