Defining operator contact information and application access
Define contact information and application access for an operator so that all operators can communicate and access the required applications. The access groups that you specify affect which applications an operator can access and what their role is.
For example, you can configure access settings so that a user can access a Loan requests application both as a manager and as a customer service representative (CSR).- Create an operator as described in Creating an operator ID or Adding an operator by using the organizational chart.
- To view an application's access settings, you must have the pxCanManageUsers privilege, which is part of the PegaRULES:SecurityAdministrator role.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- On the Operators tab, select the operator that you want
to edit.
Tip: To find your operator faster, in the Search Text field, enter the operator name, and then click Search. - Optional: To more quickly distinguish between operators, on the
Profile tab, in the Contact
Information section, provide an operator image:
- Click Choose File.
- In the files window, select a graphic file that you want to use, and then click Open.
- Click Upload Image.
Result: The image is visible after you save the operator record.
- Provide basic information about the operator:
- Optional: To inform users how to address the operator, in the
Title field, enter a relevant personal
title.
For example: Enter Mr, Mrs, or Dr. - Optional: To provide personal information about the operator, complete the First Name and Last name fields.
- In the Full name field, enter a value that you
want to use to represent the operator across your system.By default, the system autopopulates the Full name field with the value that you provide in the Short description field when you create an operator ID. The operator's full name is visible, for example, in the list of operators.
- Optional: To inform users about the job title of the operator, complete the
Position / job title field.
For example: Enter Software engineer. - Optional: To provide the phone contact information of the user, complete the
Phone field by entering the phone number in
the internationally standardized E.164 format. E.164 numbers can have a
maximum of fifteen digits and use the following format:
[+][country
code][subscriber
number including area code].
For example: For a user in the United States, enter +16175551212. The system uses the phone number to send SMS correspondence to the user. - Optional: To provide the email contact information of the user, complete the
Email field.The system uses the email address to send email correspondence to the user.
- Optional: To inform users how to address the operator, in the
Title field, enter a relevant personal
title.
- In the Application Access section, list the access groups
that the operator can access at run time:
- In the Access Group field, enter an access group
that you want to associate with the operator.
Tip: To see the roles in an access group, click the Expand row icon. - Optional: To provide additional roles and access to additional applications,
click Add item, and then in the Access
Group field, enter another access group.
For example: You can provide multiple roles for a user within one application, such as a manager role and a CSR role. - Indicate the default access group by selecting a relevant radio
button.
Result: When a user logs in, the system directs the user to the application and role that the default access group defines. For example, if you define LoanRequests:Managers as a default access group, the user logs into the Loan requests application with a manager role.
- In the Access Group field, enter an access group
that you want to associate with the operator.
- In the Localization section, list the default locale and time zone of the operator.
