Enabling User-Initiated Administration Actions

By default, users cannot change their own passwords or join Web Groups. This is customizable, you can enable one or both of these privileges. This change affects your entire user community.

To enable user-initiated administration actions

  1. Stop WWW, IIS Admin, and Siebel Analytics services.
  2. Copy \SiebelAnalytics\Web\App\Res\Messages\ControlMessages.xml to \SiebelAnalytics\Web\App\Res\CustomMessages\ControlMessages.xml.
  3. Open the copied file with a text editor.
  4. To enable users to join Web Groups, do the following:
    1. Find the following configuration key:

    <WebMessage name="kmsgJoinGroupLink"><!-- <HTML><A insert="1"><MessageRef name="kmsgUIJoinGroup"/></A></HTML> --></WebMessage>

    1. Edit it as follows:

    <WebMessage name="kmsgJoinGroupLink"><HTML><A insert="1"><MessageRef name="kmsgUIJoinGroup"/></A></HTML></WebMessage>

    This edit removes "<!--" and "-->" from the key. These two phrases disable the feature.

  5. To enable users to change passwords, do the following:
    1. Find the following configuration key:

    <WebMessage name="kmsgChangePasswordLink"><!-- <HTML><A insert="1"><MessageRef name="kmsgUIChangePassword"/></A></HTML> --></WebMessage>

    1. Edit it as follows:

    <WebMessage name="kmsgChangePasswordLink"><HTML><A insert="1"><MessageRef name="kmsgUIChangePassword"/></A></HTML></WebMessage>

    This edit removes "<!--" and "-->" from the key. These two phrases disable the feature.

  6. Save the edited file.
  7. Restart the Siebel Analytics server, IIS Admin, and WWW services in that order.
