Description

Description:
By default you can assign only one deployment area to a group. (This is not applicable to the Administrator and Deployment Administrator groups since they have access to all deployment areas). If you would like to give users the option to select the deployment area they would like to log into, you can use the steps described in the Resolution section.

Issue/Introduction

Assign multiple Deployment Areas for groups in Spotfire.

Resolution

  1. Create a new group for each deployment area the user should have access to, e.g., 'TestGroup' and 'ProductionGroup' for 'Test' and 'Production' areas respectively.
  2. Assign 'Test' area to 'TestGroup' and 'Production' area to 'ProductionGroup'.
  3. Add groups that you want to give access to as a member of 'TestGroup' and 'ProductionGroup'.
  4. The user will be prompted for which area to use after he/she has logged in.
Result: All users should have access to the Test and the Production area.

Note: The group and deployment area names above are just examples.
