Assigning a User Group to the Adapter Area

In order to create the rest of the required objects, you must belong to a user group that is assigned to the Adapter Area, and you must have a role within the user group that allows you to create and modify each of the required objects.

Note:

Only the people who will build the adapter should have these privileges within a user group assigned to the Adapter Area. If the same people will later define Load Sets, Data Marts, Program, or Business Areas that use this adapter, you may want to remove them from this user group or ask them to always log in as a different user in a different user group so that they do not inadvertently modify a Parameter definition and invalidate the adapter.

See Assigning User Groups to the Adapter Area.

You can assign user groups to Adapters in the user interface or by calling an API.

Note:

If you are creating an adapter to be used by other companies, use the API method to assign a user group. In the installation script for your adapter, create an input parameter to accept one or more user group IDs in the customer company.
