# 5 User Requirements

This chapter looks at roles and privileges that give Agile users access to ACP, at the discretion of the administrator. ACP observes all business rules around Agile PLM's roles and privileges. For more information about configuring Agile PLM roles and privileges, please the chapters "Roles" and "Privileges and Privilege Masks" in Oracle | Agile PLM Administrator Guide.

## 5.1 Standard PLM Privileges that can Access ACP

- Administrator privilege mask - permits full access to ACP functionality, as well as full access to PLM system(s)

-OR-

- Admin Access for User Admin privilege mask - able to propagate only Users and User Groups

Remember, an ACP user must have the appropriate Administrator privilege (that is, the AppliedTo property in a user's Admin privilege is properly configured) to a given Administrator node for that node to be responsive to ACP's operations when an Admin user works in ACP.

## 5.2 Tailored Roles for the ACP User

Two specialized roles are provided to permit use of ACP without permitting full Administrator access to the PLM system(s):

- (Propagation) Administrator role - contains the privileges that permit propagation of Administrator nodes

- (Propagation) User Administrator role - contains the privileges that permit propagation of Users and User Groups only.

Agile users who are assigned either of these roles can log in to PLM with the username "propagation".

## 5.3 Privileges for the ACP User

The ACP user must have appropriate privilege masks to propagate configuration data from a source instance to a target instance. The privilege masks are based on the following privileges to specified object types in PLM:

- Read privilege - to the objects to be propagated from a source

- Discover, Read, Create, and Modify privileges - for all User and User Group attributes at a target instance

- Create and Modify privileges - to the objects to be created or modified at a target instance.

The AppliedTo property of all Administrator, Read, and Modify privilege masks must be correctly defined, as it allows the user to specified Administrator nodes. The AppliedTo property is described in the chapter "Privileges and Privilege Masks" in Oracle | Agile PLM Administrator Guide.
