RQM User Role/Permissions Problem


Mitchell Burr (1121) | asked Nov 11 '10, 1:27 p.m.
I am currently having an issue trying to assign the proper roles to my users within RQM.

Current Setup:
Rational Quality Manager v2.0.1 iFix4
WebSphere Application Server v7.0.0.11
MySql Server 2005
Microsoft Active Directory for my User Registry

The issue that I am having is that no, not even myself, is able to log into the web/console with there ID unless they have the JazzAdmin role assigned to there ID in Active Directory. All it does is give them the message;
You have successfully logged into the Jazz Team Server but you do not have access to any Projects.

Now your first thought is that I have not assigned the user to any Project of course; however, I have tried adding the user to members, administrators, both together, none at all, one at a time, etc. and they continue to receive the same error. Within Active Directory, I have attempted adding the user to call and each of the Jazz roles; however, they are not able to access without this error, until I add them to JazzAdmins...This is a problem because I do not want all my users to have JazzAdmin permissions.

Could someone help me out here, because the PMR I have opened with IBM is getting me no where...Maybe if someone could lay out the proper steps for setting project admins and project users that could help solve issue. Thanks.

Hi All,

we are facing the same issue using LDAP. There is no way to login to RQM without having JazzAdmin rights. Although our error message is slightly different:

An error occurred while communicating with the server.

HTTP 403: Your account does not belong to the groups that are authorized to access the Web UI. Please contact your server administrator.


As we are staying compliant with corporate guidelines, this makes the product unusable for us.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

regards,
Dominik Blystak

We managed to fix the issue, there was a problem with the roles setup in RQM's web.xml :idea:

If the second project is on a different server look into the repotools utility, particularly the -exportUsers and -importUsers commands.
