Various types of users work with Rights Management to accomplish
different tasks:
The system administrator or other information systems
(IS) person installs and configures Rights Management. This person
may also be responsible for configuring global settings for the
server, web pages, and policies and documents.
These settings
may include, for example, a base Rights Management URL, auditing
and privacy notifications, invited user registration notices, and default
offline lease periods.
Rights Management administrators create policies and policy
sets, and manage policy-protected documents for users as required.
They also create invited user accounts, and monitor system, document,
user, policy, policy set, and custom events. They may also be responsible
for configuring the global server, and web page and policy settings
in conjunction with a system administrator.
Administrators
can assign users the following roles in the User Management area
of Administration Console. Users who are assigned these roles perform their
tasks in the Rights Management user interface area of Administration Console.
- Rights Management Super Administrator
- Users with this role have access to all of the Rights Management
settings in Administration Console. These permissions are associated
with the role:
- Rights Management Administrator
- Users with this role can configure the Rights Management
server, using the Configuration page in Rights Management section
of Administration Console. This permission is associated with the
role, Manage Configuration.
Note: Users with this
role must also have the Administration Console User role to be able
to log in to Administration Console and edit any configuration-related settings.
- Rights Management Policy Set Administrator
- Users with this role can use the Rights Management section
of Administration Console to edit other users’ polices and to create,
edit, and delete policy sets. When a policy set administrator creates
a policy set, they can assign a policy set coordinator to that policy
set. These permissions are associated with the role:
Note: Users with this
role must also have the Administration Console User role to be able
to log in to Administration Console and edit any configuration-related settings.
- Rights Management Manage Invited and Local Users
- Users with this role can perform tasks required to manage
all invited and local users on the relevant Rights Management web
pages. These permissions are associated with the role:
Note: Users
with this role must also have the Administration Console User role
to be able to log in to Administration Console and edit any configuration-related settings.
- Rights Management Invite User
- Users with this role can invite users. These permissions
are associated with the role:
- Rights Management End User
- Users with this role can access Rights Management end-user
web pages. This role can also be assigned to administrators to allow
administrators to create policies using the end-user pages. This permission
is associated with the role Access end-user web pages.
Users within the organization who have valid Rights Management
accounts create their own policies, use policies to protect documents,
track and manage their policy-protected documents, and monitor events
that are related to their documents.
Policy set coordinators manage documents, view events, and
manage other policy set coordinators (based on their permissions).
Administrators designate users as policy set coordinators for particular
policy sets.
Users who are external to your organization (for example,
a business partner) can use policy-protected documents if they are
in the Rights Management directory, if the administrator creates
an account for them, or if they register with Rights Management
through an automated email invitation process. Depending on how
the administrator enables the access settings, the invited users
may also have permission to apply policies to documents, to create, modify
and delete their policies, and to invite other external users to
use their policy-protected documents.
Developers use the LiveCycle SDK to integrate custom applications
with Rights Management.
Rights Management
administrators can create custom roles by using the following permissions
in User Management:
Rights Management Manage Configuration
Rights Management Manage Invited and Local Users
Rights Management Manage Policy Sets
Rights Management Manage Policy Sets
Rights Management View Server Events
Rights Management Change Policy Owner
