Creating Groups and Assigning Roles and Privileges

In SBM Application Administrator, add groups that will identify Release Control users. We recommend creating at least one group for each role in Release Control as follows:

RLC Administrators
RLC Package Creators
RLC Release Engineers
RLC Release Managers
RLC Users
RLC Approvers

After the groups have been created, assign each group to the corresponding project role and any additional project roles that may be required. The project roles, which are defined in the related process applications, give the group members privileges to that project. For additional details on how to assign a group to a role, see the SBM Application Administrator Guide.

The following table gives:

The projects in which you should enable the roles and which roles you should enable
Privileges to a special table called RLC Deployment Log

Important: The RLC Deployment Log table is used to create the view of the different execution runs for a release package and enables the display of the data for your release package deployments. The privileges for the deployment log are tied to the release package process app. Since it is generated after the first time the Release Package process app is promoted, it cannot be given privileges through roles. Therefore, the privileges must be set for your groups after you have generated the view and promoted the Release Package process app. The Deployment Log table is not accessible through Manage Data like auxiliary tables. However, you manage privileges for it on the Privileges | Table tab.
