Configuring the UCS Manager Adapter
Defining UCS Manager Adapter Users
Defining Runtime Users
Before you can create UCSM jobs, a user with access to the UCSM instance must be defined to CWA. CWA cannot run
any UCSM job unless it knows the user name(s) and password(s) defined in the user account that accesses the UCSM
instance. CWA then interacts with the UCSM as that defined user, exchanging information to monitor and control the
execution of the UCSM jobs through CWA. Other users in CWA are authorized to run the database jobs on behalf of
UCSM runtime users.

The credentials specified for the runtime user are used to store the information about the simple user security context

Defining an UCS Manager Security Policy
Access to the USCM environment is controlled by assigning a USCM security policy with specified privileges to user
accounts. The system administrator should create a new security policy or edit an existing policy in CWA as described
in the Users chapter of the Cisco Workload Automation User Guide. The new policy should include the normal user
privileges as well as the capability to add and/or edit USCM jobs. A user whose assigned security policy does not include
USCM privileges cannot create and/or run USCM jobs.
