Configure an administrative user for Home Page and Blogs

Set up administrative access to each feature that you want to configure and customize.


Perform this task only if you want to administer the Home page or if you have installed Blogs.

Use the WAS admin console to grant yourself (and anyone else whom you want to designate as an administrator) administrative access to a feature.

Without administrative access to Blogs, you cannot configure a home page for the Blogs feature. Without administrative access to the Home page, you cannot add, enable, or disable widgets. The administrator role is also useful for determining who is allowed to read server metrics statistics. To configure administrative access to a feature...

  1. From the WAS admin console, select Applications > Enterprise Applications, and then find and click the link to the feature that you want to configure.

  2. Click the Security role to user/group mapping link.

  3. To map a user to the administrative role, select the check box beside the admin role, and then click the Look up users or groups button.

  4. In the Search String box, type the name of the person whom you would like to set as an administrator, and then click Search. If the user exists in the LDAP directory, it is found and displayed in the Available list.

  5. Select the name from the Available box, and then move it into the Selected column by clicking the right arrow button.

  6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to add more users to the administrative role.

  7. Click OK.

  8. To map a user to the administrative role for another feature, repeat steps 1–7.

  9. From the Enterprise Applications > feature > Security role to user/group mapping page, click OK, and then click Save to save the changes.

  10. Synchronize and restart all your WebSphere Application Server instances.
