Bookshelf v7.5: Setting Up Developers as Siebel Employees

Setting Up Developers as Siebel Employees

After developers have a database account, and the necessary positions and responsibilities are defined, you can set up each developer as an employee in your Siebel application.

To set up an employee user

Log on to the development server with a username and password that have administrator privileges, such as SADMIN/SADMIN.

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > User Administration > Employees.

The Employee list appears.

In the Employees list, add a new record and complete the following fields:


Field	Example Value	Comments
First Name	Noel	The developer's first name.
Last Name	Adams	The developer's last name.
User ID	NADAMS	The username to be used for logging on to Siebel Tools (and for identifying which user has checked out a project). The login name must match the user's database account name. Enter all login names in uppercase letters for compatibility across database systems.
Password	NREC	The user's password to the application is the same as the user's password on the database account. This field is read-only.
Position	Developer_1	Positions determine which records are visible to users.
Responsibility	sadmin	Responsibilities determine which views a person has access to. Developers typically need access to all views for the purpose of testing and entering test data. For this reason, NREC chose to associate the Siebel Administrator responsibility to each developer. An alternative would be to create a new responsibility that only allows developers access to a particular set of views.

NOTE: The employee information for each developer resides on the development server. When you create a local database for the developer, this information is also included in each local database.
