TDM GUI - User Types
Since the TDM GUI authenticates users via LDAP, all TDM users must be defined in the LDAP application.
There are three main types of TDM users, each with different permissions for different activities.
Note that all TDM windows can be accessed by all users in View mode. However, only authorized users with the relevant permissions can update TDM definitions.
Admin
The Admin can execute all activities in the TDM GUI application. Admins are defined as admin in the TDM config.js. Their user and password are authenticated via LDAP.
Admins usually also define the TDM implementation in Fabric. They can execute all activities in the TDM GUI and are responsible for the following activities:
- Create, edit or delete products.
- Create, edit or delete Business Entities and attach Logical Units or post-execution processes to each Business Entity.
- Create, edit or delete environments.
- Attach environment owners to each environment.
- Define roles in each environment and define permissions per role.
Environment Owner
The Environment Owner is the owner of a TDM testing environment. Admins can define one or several Environment Owners for each testing environment. Environment Owners must be defined in LDAP under a dedicated group of users that can be assigned as Environment Owners.
The TDM application identifies users with Environment Owners permissions by their LDAP group.
Environment Owners can execute the following activities in their environment:
- Edit the environment details.
- Add or remove products from the environment.
- Add or remove Globals.
- Add, edit or remove Exclusion Lists.
- Create, edit or delete TDM roles and define permissions per role.
- Attach users to TDM roles.
Note that Environment Owners cannot add or delete an environment and cannot add or remove Environment Owners from the environment.
Tester User
Testers can create, extract or load tasks based on their role.
