IT administrator, Fabric Administration template

Our IT administrator, Andy, will create an administration space and use it to set up spaces and govern changes coming from the other users. The Fabric Administration template creates a business space using the predefined pages. An administration space provides administrative access to all change sets in the system. The creation and/or changes that are made to a business process or to other composite business application assets at Better Financials need to be reviewed, approved, or rejected. They must be published before becoming available to the runtime system.

Designed for an administrator, this space also provides a global administrative view of the applications, business services, and vocabularies across the whole system. It also enables an administrator to control which objects can be seen and edited within the other spaces.

Business Analyst, Fabric Authoring Template

Our business analyst, Loretta, will use the Fabric Authoring template to define the Better Financials Loans Origination application. The Fabric Authoring template creates a business space designed for a business analyst to create and edit business vocabularies, business services, composite business applications, and policies.
clc_joe
Auto Loans project manager, Business Process Agility template

Our auto loans product manager, Joe, will use the agility space to make a change to the running process. The agility template creates a space designed for a business user to manage policies and business variables in a production environment with little or no IT involvement.

The illustration below shows the entire process flow for modeling, developing, assembling and deploying this application.

  1. In the Admin Console window, expand Users and Groups and select Manage Users.  Do a Search to display existing users.  Click Create to add users if required().

  5. A successful confirmation appears.  Click Close ().
