Administrators can give users access to Order Hub and also configure
resource permissions to determine the pages and actions that users can access. Every user that wants
access to Order Hub must belong to a user group.
It is recommended that you periodically review your user group resource permissions as Order Hub introduces new pages and actions. New pages and actions are not enabled by default
for your custom user groups.
About this task
IBM® provides two user groups that you can use to quickly add users. The following table explains the default resource permissions for the IBM-provided user groups.

Procedure

Log in to the Starting the applications manager
to add users to a user group.
-
Select .

Open .
-
Open an existing group with Order Hub permissions and view the group details to
see if the permissions meet your needs.
- If none of the existing groups meet your permission requirements, you must create a
custom group.
- Open one of the existing groups (OCAdminGroup or
OCBusUserGroup).
- Click Save as and enter a name for your new, custom group.
- Update the permissions for the new custom group.
- Click Save.
-
To modify the user group permissions, open the Order Hub permissions
module and edit the permissions as needed.

Complete the following steps to assign existing users to the user group. If you add a user to
multiple groups, the user has access to the highest permissions granted in any of the assigned
groups.
Note: Make sure that you keep your users in their current user groups for accessing the Applications Manager. These groups provide the necessary permissions to the underlying APIs that
are used in the Order Hub user interface.
-
Within the user group, select User Subscriptions.
-
Click Find users to add to group.
-
Search for the user or team and then click Add users to group.

-
Subscribe the user to an applicable user group such as OCAdminGroup . For more
information about how to subscribe a user to a group, see Creating a user.
Note:
- Make sure that you also add the user to user groups that provide access to the Applications Manager. These groups provide the necessary permissions to the underlying APIs that
are used in the Order Hub user interface.
- The user groups that provide API access must include the Order Hub-related APIs
getSBAWorkspaceList and manageSBAWorkspace, and the Order Hub-related services SBANodeMetrics and
SBAManageOrgAlertData.
