Enable the Start Assisted Modeling link in the UCMDB Browser module for specific users

In some cases, you may wish to grant users access to the Service Modeling module in the UCMDB Browser module, but not to Assisted Modeling. To enable this functionality, a new AssistedModelingVisible infrastructure setting control is introduced. This allows you to grant or revoke access to Assisted Modeling to different user roles, which will enable or disable the Start Assisted Modeling link in the Service Modeling module.

If you are upgrading to this version of UCMDB, you must manually grant access to Assisted Modeling to each user role. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Go to UCMDB UI > Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager, locate the AssistedModelingVisible setting, and set its value to true.
  2. Log in to the UCMDB JMX console. For details, see How to Access the JMX Console.
  3. In the UCMDB JMX Quick Search box, enter listResourceTypes.
  4. Enter your Customer ID. (Default: 1)
  5. Click Invoke to display the URM Services mbean.
  6. Select Auth_ROLE to display the list of roles.
  7. Click the Resource ID that corresponds to the user role to which you want to grant permission to access Assisted Modeling, and then add the following lines of code to the resource XML:

    <xmlGlobalPermittedAction>ASSISTED_MODELING</xmlGlobalPermittedAction>

    <xmlGlobalPermittedAction>EXPORT_REPORT</xmlGlobalPermittedAction>

  8. Click Save resource to apply your changes.
