User Manager

Introduction

The User Manager is an advanced widget designed to simplify and enhance user access management across IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) systems, including DOORS Next, ETM, EWM, and GCM. By providing seamless control over user roles and permissions across multiple project areas, this widget boosts efficiency, improves security, and streamlines workflows.

Problem Statement

Challenges in User Access Management

Managing user roles and permissions in IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) systems like DOORS Next, ETM, EWM, and GCM often presents challenges. The default system framework allows organizations to identify user roles within individual project areas, but lacks functionality for analyzing and managing a single user's access across multiple projects. This limitation creates inefficiencies, especially when organizations need to quickly assign roles, audit access for compliance, or remove users across multiple projects, hindering security and increasing administrative overhead.

Solution
