Summary

This article discusses how to create one view for all users.

Solution

On a dedicated system, use the property "defaultView" to capture all users in a single view.

  1. In the ec_ui property sheet "availableViews", create a property describing the view for your users.

  2. Create a property in ec_ui called "defaultView".

  3. Create a group containing the users that you want to give a restricted view.

  4. Use ACLs so only the group can see the property "defaultView".

Example

Creating a restricted view

  1. Create a property called "restrictedView". Go to: Administration -> Server -> Custom Server Properties -> ec_ui -> availableViews

  2. Add the following property value:

Establishing everyone’s default view to be the restrictedView

  1. Create a property called "defaultView" with value "restrictedView". Go to: Administration -> Server -> ec_ui -> Create Property.

Restricting the AD/LDAP user view

  1. Create a User called "Guest". Go to: Administration -> Users -> Create local User.

  2. Create a Group called "RestrictedUsers". Go to: Administration -> Groups -> Create local Group.

    1. Add user "Guest" to try things locally.

    2. Add "ECloud LDAP", the local Electric Cloud LDAP users group

  3. Set the default view for "Guest". Use: ectool setProperty /groups/licenses/ec_ui/defaultView restrictedView or set the property equivalent through the GUI.

  4. Follow the procedures in the following documents to set up the remaining ACLs:

    1. View and change access control privileges on objects.

    2. KBEC-00022 - Restricting logins or access to projects

  5. As the ACL restrictions articles recommend, turn on your restrictions by removing the Server "access control" Everyone permissions.
