2.1 Loading Authorizations

The Role Mapping Administrator stores the authorizations for the managed systems in its local database. This database must be loaded before you can map authorizations to roles.

If your administrator for the Role Mapping Administrator has not preloaded the database, or if you need to update the database because the authorizations have changed in the managed system, you need to load the database.

You can control which managed systems authorizations are loaded, and you can control which types of authorizations (Groups, Roles, Profiles, or all of them) are loaded.

  1. In the Authorizations panel, click the Load Authorizations icon to display the Load Authorizations dialog box.

  2. In the Systems list, select the managed systems from which you want to load authorizations.

  3. In the Authorizations list, select the types of authorizations (for example, Groups, Roles, and Profiles) you want loaded. Repeat this for each managed system you selected.

    If you select Roles, both roles and composite roles are loaded.

  4. Click OK.

    The Role Mapping Administrator begins retrieving the authorizations from the selected managed systems. The time required to retrieve and load the authorizations depends on the number of systems you selected and the number or authorizations contained in each system.
