Setting Up Security for Diagnostics Framework

This section provides an overview of security for Diagnostics Framework.

To gather information using Diagnostics Framework, you must have access to:

  • The Diagnostics Framework pages.

  • The WEBLIB_PTDIAG web library.

You use the PeopleTools Security pages to select or create a permission list to which you can add the necessary permissions for these elements. That permission list should ultimately be assigned through a role to the users who will run diagnostics.

To run diagnostics, you must have access to these Diagnostics Framework pages:

  • PT_DIAG_PLUGIN

  • PT_DIAG_FRAME_REG

To set up security access to these pages:

  1. Select PeopleTools > Security > Permission & Roles > Permission Lists.

  2. Select or define a permission list to which you want to add Diagnostics Framework permissions.

    See Understanding Permission Lists.

  3. Access the Pages page for the selected permission list.

    This page lists the menus to which this permission list has some degree of access.

  4. If the PT_DIAGNOSTICS menu isn't listed on this page, add a new row and select it.

  5. Click the Edit Components link for the PT_DIAGNOSTICS menu.

    The Component Permissions page appears.

    The Page Permissions page appears.

  1. Access the Web Libraries page for the permission list for which you've already granted access to the Diagnostics Framework pages.

    This page lists the web libraries to which the permission list has some degree of access.
