Single sign on is configured between the two systems for report access. Cognos and Tivoli Process Automation Engine report security both work from the same set of Tivoli Process Automation Engine security users and groups. Role based security refers to the data synchronization of Tivoli Service Automation Manager entities, such as customers, teams, security groups and users, to Tivoli Usage and Accounting Manager entities, such as clients, users, and user groups. During the synchronization process account code security is applied to the reports that Tivoli Service Automation Manager users access. Account code security is used for customer and team reporting data segregation based on cloud roles in Tivoli Service Automation Manager. Note: Detailed information about configuring and administering the Tivoli Usage and Accounting Manager v1.0 extension is in the information center at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v55r1/topic/com.ib m.tuam.ext.doc_1.0/welcome.htm 4.4 Self-service UI customization and REST API usage In this section, we describe how to customize the Tivoli Service Automation Manager interface and how to use the REST API to integrate external products within your environment. 4.4.1 Self-service UI customization The reasons for customizing the ready-for-use Tivoli Service Automation Manager user interface vary among users. In this example, we cover how to hide icons, that are normally used by administrators, from non-administrators. We demonstrate how to hide the Manage Users and Teams icon. See Figure 4-35 on page 140. In Tivoli Service Automation Manager, the actions a user can perform in the UI are called offerings . Offerings can be customized, added, and removed according to your requirements. Logging into the administrator console To begin customization, log into the administrator console. The ready-for-use admin user name is maxadmin. See Example 4-3. Example 4-3 URL for the Tivoli Service Automation Manager administrator console https://ibmtsam.ral.ibm.com:9443/maximo/ Chapter 4.
