Each process app contains roles with privilege assignments that control access to each phase of your release process. Roles also populate the various fields, such as Release Manager and Product Owner. Roles are provided for each of the participants described in Release Manager Participants.

Along with roles specific to release participants, each process app contains these roles:

• RLM Administrator

  Intended for users who will administer the process apps, this role is assigned all application-based privileges. Users assigned to this role can also delete release artifacts, such as release trains and application releases.

• RLM User

  Intended for stakeholders who need visibility into your release process but do not actively work on release artifacts, this role is assigned view-only privileges.

Users and groups are assigned to roles in SBM Application Administrator.

Use the following general steps for establishing user accounts:

1. Determine the types of user accounts you need.
2. To better manage sets of users, log in to Application Administrator, and then create groups, such as "Release Engineers" and "Product Owners."
3. Add accounts for each active user.
4. Assign users to the applicable groups you created. This will ease the process of assigning users to roles.
5. Assign groups to roles in each process app.

For best results, non-administrative users should be assigned Regular User access.
