Creating roles

HMS is supported by the third-party identity provider (IDP). This is enabled as OIDC (Open ID Connect) and Ming.le use an IDP.
Note: To activate the Ming.le login and add or update a user, the value of the install parameter MINGSYNC must be set to YES.

For an HMS user to login using Ming.le or OIDC:

  • The HMS role must match an IDP role.
  • The application automatically creates or updates the credentials of the user ID when a user accesses the application.
  • A user is automatically linked to a property when an HMS role or an IDP role is created. If a role is deleted the user cannot access the associated property.
  • The default property configured in the Properties tab for user groups is applicable to the roles also.
  • The login process updates the data in the HMS User Setup screen if information is modified in the IDP.
  • The application creates the lists of properties based on the roles. This is used to add or update the list of properties associated with the users.
