ATG Business Control Center Administration and Development Guide

A user profile, defined in the Internal Users interface of the ATG Business Control Center. When you log into the application (see below), you are prompted to enter a user name and password. The values to enter are the login name and password specified in your user profile. A default profile is provided – see Starting the ATG Business Control Center.

An ATG Portal role, for example 100001-member. This role is required for access to the ATG Business Control Center framework. ATG Portal roles are assigned through the Internal Users interface. In this case, the appropriate roles are located by default in the Global Roles > All Communities > Bizui folder. If you have only this role, you have access to the Users options in the ATG Business Control Center, but to none of the other options on the BCC Home page. For more information on assigning roles, see Creating Roles.

An ATG Content Administration role, for example EPub-User or EPub-Manager. These are also added to your user profile through the Internal Users interface in the ATG Business Control Center. Although you do not need one of these roles to start the ATG Business Control Center, you do need one to access all ATG Content Administration features, which include projects. Because the targeting features you work with in the ATG Business Control Center use projects, you need this role to be able to work with them. If you do not have this role, the Targeting and Segmentation option on the Home page does not appear.

Some ATG applications use ATG Customer Intelligence to provide a set of reports. For example, ATG Outreach includes reports that business managers can use to view data about e-mail campaigns. If you want to view any reports, you need one of the reporting roles that allows access to the Report Center, for example Report Viewer or Reporting Administrator. These roles are located in the Global Roles > All Communities folder.

A Web browser. The ATG Business Control Center supports various browsers and operating systems. For up-to-date information, see the Supported Environments page on atg.com: http://www.atg.com/en/products-services/commerce/supported-environments/.
