Aurora license and user setup

Aurora license

Aurora support will supply you with a license definition file, aurora_license. This will define how many named users of each type are available.

Save the aurora_license file in your %AuroraServer% directory.

Aurora user setup

You must now define the type of license for each user. Certain role configurations will depend on the Aurora options that you select.

Note: The Aurora evaluation version does not require licenses, but it still requires user setup.

Use the Aurora Role Manager to define users. As the desired roles change, use this interface to add, remove, edit, enable, and disable users.

1. Make sure that the Aurora MetaServer is running. If it is not, then start it from the Aurora Server installation directory.
2. Run the Aurora Role Manager from one of the following locations:
   • From the Start menu option, from Aurora RoleManager.exe in the %AuroraServer% directory.
   • From Aurora Role Manager WebStart, if you requested external role manager access.
3. From the Aurora Role Manager, click Add.
4. Enter the user's first and last names (these are for informational purposes only). Then enter the user's Windows ID in the User ID box.
5. (Optional) If desired, enter organization and program category information. This is not relevant to the Teamcenter integration, but may control supplemental customizations within Aurora for multiple clients.
6. Select the appropriate User Tier which will be the user role type. The options are available based on the license file.

User Role	Role Description
Program Scheduler	Allows users to use all Aurora functionality including generation and optimizing schedules and advance analytical reports.
Basic Scheduler	Allows users to make changes and schedule and view the schedule, but not optimize or use any of the analytic reports.
Resource User	Allows users to schedule and analyze progress, and enter actuals, but not make any other changes (primarily for use in an execution schedule).
Viewer	Allows users to run reports and view the model, but not make any changes or schedule.

If you wish to have external access to the role manager and/or MetaServer user interface, select User Role Administrator and Aurora Administrator appropriately for the administrative user.

Note: As these external access capabilities are not part of the standard package, you need to request the appropriate supplemental WebStarts from Stottler Henke to obtain this functionality.

7. When finished, click Apply and close the role manager window.
8. Restart the Aurora Metaserver.
