4.3 Loading Authorizations into the Database

The Role Mapping Administrator stores the authorizations for the connected systems in its local database. This database must be loaded before users can map authorizations to roles. Any user who is authorized to log in to the Role Mapping Administrator can load and reload the database. Load the database the first time you log in so that it is ready for immediate use.

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

  1. In the Authorizations panel, click the Load Authorizations icon to display the authorizations to load.

  2. Select the types of authorizations (Groups, Roles, and Profiles) you want loaded for each system displayed.

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

  3. Click OK.

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