How to set up users in Callista

Set up users in Callista to map users to groups using Callista Edge role grants. Users can then log in to Edge using their Callista account and have the permissions defined by the role their group is assigned to. For more information on groups, roles, and permissions, go to What is authorisation?

Before setting up users in Callista, you require the following:

  • An Edge account that has the Edge Administrator role with permission to manage authorisation.

  • A copy of the Tribal document Edge Tenant and Core Branding Request.docx, which is available on Tribal Communities. On Tribal Communities, go to Community Knowledge base Tribal Edge platform knowledge base n General Information Accessing Tribal Edge Tenants (Environments).

  • A Callista account with permissions to use the SECF0063 (Maintain security role function grants) and SECF0087 (Maintain security role Edge role grants) forms or the SECF0062 (Maintain person function grants) and SECF0085 (Maintain person Edge role grants) forms.

  • An Edge role in SECF0089 (Maintain Edge roles) that is going to be mapped to an Edge group. For example, Edge applications supervisors.

Set up the users in Callista as follows:

  1. Find the Callista security role to map to the Edge group. On Callista, go to the SECF0063 (Maintain security role function grants) form, then select query and search for the security role that you want to map the Edge group to. For example, EDGE_APP_SUP (Edge applications supervisors), as shown in the image Find security role.
