Setting up users with specific roles

You must set up users in the integration and either assign them to a group or assign them a role. If necessary, you can manually create data source credentials and change passwords for users.

IBM® EMM uses the SPSS_CRED_DS data source to log in users to IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition. For users who have an existing account, the system automatically creates a login and SPSS_CRED_DS data source the first time that they use single sign-on to access IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition. You might need to manually create data sources for users who have existing IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition accounts.

Both users and administrators can change the password in the user's data source. If users with existing logins change their passwords in IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition, they must also change their Marketing Platform password to match. Otherwise, the login attempt will fail with an authentication error.

If you set a new password in the user's data source in Marketing Platform, the user's IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition credentials are reset to the password you specify.

If you have multiple partitions, you must complete this task in every partition where you have users who require single sign-on.

To set up users with specific roles, complete the following steps.

Navigate to the Settings > Users page.

Create or identify IBM® EMM user accounts for users who require single sign-on access to IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition.

For users with existing IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition accounts, create a data source for each user by completing the following steps:

On each user's detail page, click Edit Data Sources > Add New.

Complete the fields.

Data Source: Type SPSS_CRED_DS, which is the required name of the data source for every user.

Data Source Login: Type the user's IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition login name.

Data Source Password: Type the user's IBM® SPSS® Modeler Advantage Marketing Edition password.

To assign a user role to single sign-on users, complete one of the following steps:

Make each user a member of one of the groups that you created for single sign-on.

For each user, assign SPSSuser or SPSSadmin roles.
