Setting up the users

Introduction

To enable users to work with Process Mining, you must set up the user accounts to define access rights for the different Process Mining components.

User management via Automation Cloud^TM

Since Process Mining is a service within Automation Cloud^TM, all users involved in the discovery process need to have an account in Automation Cloud^TM.

To find out how to invite users to Automation Cloud^TM, see Managing Users.

Note: When assigning roles to users or groups, make sure that the licenses that are needed to perform the role are available.

The Administrator role does not require a license.

Note: Changes to group membership in Automation Cloud^TM are not immediately reflected in Process Mining permissions. This can take up to 15 minutes. This implies that, for example, when a user is removed from the group, the process app permissions the user gained through the group are not immediately revoked.

User management in Process Mining

Administrators can manage access for users to the Process Mining service in the Admin console.

The Manage access page for assigning roles and app permissions can be opened from the Process Mining header bar.

The Assign roles tab displays a list of users and groups with the assigned roles.

Note: You can set access for users only for Process Mining components and not for other Cloud services.

You can assign roles that grant permissions to a specific user or group. Below is an overview of the different roles that are available for Process Mining users.

Role	Description
Business user	A Business user has access only to Published process apps. Access to a specific Published Process App is restricted to the permissions set for this process app. By default, users that are in the Everyone group have assigned the Business User role.
Developer	A user with the Developer role can create, view, edit, or delete process apps. Can manage permissions for published process apps for which they are the owner. By default, users that are in the Automation Developers group have assigned the Developer role.
Administrator	A user with the Administrator role assigned can access the Admin Console tab in Process Mining. Can assign or revoke roles to users and groups. The Administrators group cannot be deleted from the Users & Groups list. By default, users that are in the Administrators group have assigned the Administrator role.

Note: A user or group can have multiple roles assigned.
