Publishing applications to the Launchpad

Users must be granted permission to launch any of the applications in the OEDQ suite. Application permissions are associated with user groups, and a user can only launch an application if they belong to at least one group that is granted permissions for that application.

To change the permissions of User Groups to use the OEDQ user applications, or to change the list of applications that are published to the Launchpad:

Select Applications within the Configuration pages.
Tick the Publish box to publish an application to the Launchpad.
Use the Up and Down arrows to change the order in which the applications will appear on the Launchpad.
Click on the Groups link to change the groups that have access to the applications.

Note that functional permissions within Director are also controlled at the user group level. See the overview of user security for more details.

Note:The Issue Management application can be accessed within Director. It is surfaced as a separate application to support linking into Director from issue notification emails. It can be used by users in the configured groups from email links without publishing it to the Launchpad. The Configuration Analysis, Dashboard and Server Console applications can also be launched from Director. Application and functional permissions are always respected.
