Before the team starts using CTP, the admin needs to define users and access levels. If accounts are not set up and properly synched with CTP, only the admin account will be able to log in to CTP.
Prerequisites
In order to set the access levels described in this section (admin, system, provision), you need to have one of the following installed:
Parasoft user administration functionality is provided by the following applications:
- Parasoft
- Parasoft Concerto 4.8.2 or later
- Parasoft DTP
- The separate pstsec.war (Parasoft User Administration) file alongside CTP

- shipped with CTP
Parasoft DTP is a development and testing analytics hub with built-in user management and licensing functionality. You can either configure CTP to leverage the user administration module included with DTP or deploy the pstsec.war file shipped with CTP. In either case, you can manually add users or synchronize user administration with your existing LDAP server and import them automatically.
About User Configuration
Every team member who will access CTP needs a user account. The level of access that each CTP user has depends on how that user account is configured.
You can define permissions on a per-user basis. Or, if you plan to have a common set of permissions shared across a group of users, you can define the permissions once in a user group, then simply assign users to that user group.
If you have use Parasoft Concerto or Parasoft DTP installed, user configuration is performed in the User Administration module. To access this, browse to your team’s DTP interface, then choose User Administration from the top Administration settings menu.
If you are using the Parasoft User Administration module instead of Parasoft Concerto/DTP, ensure that it is installed and configured as described in Installing Parasoft User Administration.

User access control is enabled on the SOAtest Server when you connect the SOAtest Server to a CTP that has security controls configured. This connection is made in the Parasoft> Continuous Testing Platform preferences page (see Integrating Virtualize Server and/-or SOAtest Server with CTP).
User access control allows you to specify what actions each CTP user can perform on the SOAtest Servers that are connected to CTP. For example, you can determine which users are able to view and execute tests.
Note that these controls apply to all instances where SOAtest is accessed via its web service interface. This includes access from CTP, HP QC, and Parasoft Concerto—as well as direct access to the SOAt- est web service API. Without successful user authentication, users will not be able to access the SOAt- est web service interface.

In order to set the access levels (admin, system, provision), you need to have one of the following installed:

...
Role | Testing privileges | Environment provisioning | System and env. definition | Control access permissions | Test Data Management |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Administration Admins have permission to create, modify, and execute tests from CTP. This is full access. | All | Yes, always | Yes, always | Yes | Disconnect servers + all repository operations |
System System users can create, modify, and execute tests on resources with which they have access. This is full access. | All | Yes * | Yes * | No | All repository operations* |
Provision Provision users can execute test jobs for which they have access. This user role cannot create or modify save changes to test assets (test scenarios, jobs, etc.). They can modify environment variables for jobs to customize execution, but are not able to save the changes. | Can execute test jobs * | Yes * | No | No | Read-only access* |
Unspecified If the user is not assigned a specific role on CTP (provision, system, or admin)—but still successfully authenticates—he or she will be able to view test assets, jobs, and results. This is read-only access. | Read-only | No | No | No | No |
No Authentication If the user does not successfully authenticate, he or she will not be able to view test assets, start tests, view test status, or view test results on any SOAtest servers with user access control (e.g., any SOAtest server that is configured to connect to CTP). | No | No | No | No | No |
...
For any user without Administration privileges, the level of access to the available systems, environments, Virtualize/SOAtest servers, and Data Repository Servers (for SOAtest Virtualize 9.9 and later) depends on the permissions that have been set. Resources can be made available to all users, or access can be limited to certain user groups or specific users.
