Introduction to Profiles
A user access HOPEX with a specific profile that determines the HOPEX application and its associated desktop(s).
Profile definition
A profile defines the function of a person or person group in the enterprise.
E.g.: EA Functional Administrator, Enterprise Architect
The profile defines:
• the products accessible
*The command line of each profile is also described in the Concepts > Profiles documentation.
*If a user already has restricted access rights to products (see Viewing the Characteristics of a Login), the products accessible to this user are at the intersection of the values of the Command Line attribute of the user login and profile.
• the desktops to which the user can access
• the UI access rights (permissions) of the user
• the same options for all the users logged in with this profile
*See Options.
Profile assignment
The HOPEX Administrator (or an HOPEX Administrator of a Solution) must assign each person at least one profile so that this person can access HOPEX.
Assigning a profile to a person or a person group defines:
• the repository concerned by the assignment
• the data (reading, writing) access rights of the person with this profile assignment
• (optional) the validity period of the assignment
*See Assigning a profile to a person.
*See Assigning a profile to a person group.
Connection diagram
Using a Working Environment Template (WET) enables to homogenize the display of the desktops.
*For detailed information regarding the WET creation, see HOPEX Power Studio - Versatile Desktop documentation.
To access HOPEX, a person must have:
• a login
• at least one profile
The profile gives access to one or several WET-based desktops.
*See Creating and Managing Users.
At least one WET (with one or several associated desktops) must be assigned to the profile. A desktop manager enables to define the desktops associated with this WET-profile assignment.
In the above example, William WOODS has an active login. He can access:
• HOPEX Studio with the HOPEX Customizer profile.
• HOPEX Enterprise Architecture with the Enterprise Architect profile.
• HOPEX Customized with the Enterprise Architect profile and choose a device (computer or tablet) adapted display.
*See Creating and Managing Users.
