Community administrator overview

Community administrators manage the access, review processes, and change management integration for communities. While repository administrators oversee high-level repository maintenance and organization, community administrators manage assets, roles, privileges, and review processes to ensure that users can work with the repository effectively.

Community administrators can assign roles and permissions to users and user groups to define different levels of access to the community. The community administrator manages communities on the administration page in the Rational® Asset Manager web client. A use can have the role of community administrator in more than one community, and one community can have multiple administrators. Community administrators can add or remove other administrators from their community.

For more information on communities, see Communities.

Administrators can use the search feature to find specific users or users who have a specific role.

Community administrator roles:

Manage the roles and permissions of users and user groups.
Add or remove users, roles, and user groups.
Grant access requests.
Extend and manage review and policy processes.
Set up and maintain forum mapping.

Review Process

The community administrator configures and manages review and policy processes for a community based on the master lifecycles created by repository administrators. There are three types of review processes: default, custom, and policy-driven. Review processes ensure that an asset is complete, accurate, and optimized for reuse. Review processes can be based on a single asset type, one or more categories, or an asset type combined with one or more categories. Community administrators appoint reviewers and review board members based on their expertise.

Forum Mapping

You can create discussion forums to record as change requests in a change management system.
