Users and groups

IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express offers you centralized administration of users and user groups, allowing you to better define users and manage user access rights. Users can register and manage their own account information, or an administrator can provision and manage users. Group memberships can be used to give the required permissions to access an object or perform a request.

All read-only attributes for users and groups must be listed in WP PumaService. If read-only attributes are not listed in this file, users and groups cannot be modified. Set configuration properties describes how to modify Puma service to list the attributes with the appropriate properties below:

User attributes: user.sync.remove.attributes

Group attributes: group.sync.remove.attributes
