Creating a P6 Security Group in WCCC

To maintain your WCCC repository, create a P6 Security Group in WCCC and grant the appropriate rights to P6 EPPM users. Consider the following:

P6 user names must match the WCCC user names, unless you are using Single User for the Authentication Mode.
Note: Single User Authentication Mode will log all P6 users into WCCC using the administrator user or as specified in the Database/Instance/Content Repository setting in P6 Admin Settings.
All P6 EPPM-related WCCC user names must have corresponding assignments to WCCC Roles and Users. For a quick setup, you can create one P6 EPPM-specific Role to map to users with full privileges (read, write, delete, admin).
All P6 EPPM-related WCCC user names must have access to the P6 Security Group, either directly or through a role.

When you are creating users in WCCC for integrating with P6, consider the following:

If you are using Multiple User Authentication Mode when configuring P6:

You must create a WCCC user for every P6 EPPM user, and the user name created must match the P6 EPPM user.
You must assign the user to a role mapped to the security group associated with the P6 Framework folder and must have the right to read, write, and delete.
You must create an administrative user in WCCC. The user name does not have to match a P6 user.
You must assign the administrative user to a role mapped to the Security Group associated with the P6 folder. The administrator must have read, write, delete, and admin rights within the Security Group.
If you are using Single User Authentication Mode when configuring P6:
You must create an administrative user in WCCC. The user name does not have to match that of a P6 EPPM user.
You must assign the administrative user to a role mapped to the Security Group associated with the P6 folder. The administrator must have read, write, delete, and admin rights within the Security Group.

(Optional) If you enabled Security Accounts, create a P6 Security Account. Depending on your organization, you might need to set up a Security Account for performance and storage reasons. Security considerations include the following:

P6 EPPM user names must match the WCCC user names, unless using Single User for the Authentication Mode.
All P6-related WCCC user names must have corresponding WCCC Roles and Users.
All P6-related WCCC user names must have access to the P6 Security Account.
