Process Flow

...

       1.      Define the required companies. For more information on defining companies, see Companies.

For example, you wish to administrate the employees in your company in sales, marketing, and development separately. In this case, add the following to sapum.properties:

ume.tpd.companies=sales;marketing;development;

       2.      Define one or more delegated user administrators for each company. To define a delegated user administrator, you must:

¡        Assign the administrator to the company for which they are to be responsible (in user profile or by assigning them to the company group)

¡        Assign the delegated administrator to a delegated user administration role as follows:

§         If you are setting up delegated user administration in the portal, use the portal role called Delegated User Admin with the ID pcd:portal_content/administrator/user_admin/delegated_user_admin_role

§         Otherwise use the preconfigured UME role called DelegatedUserAdmin

       3.      Assign users to companies using one of the following options:

¡        Overall user administrator uses administration console

¡        Users request to belong to a company; Delegated user administrators approve the requests.

¡        Overall user administrator uses user import function and use the Org_ID attribute to assign a company to users.

For example, import the following data for a user:

[User]

UID=user1

Password=user1

Email_Address=user1@mycompany.com

First_Name=John

Last_Name=Smith

Org_ID=company1
