Answer
Since UPT is a shared user authorization system for all caGrid tools, users created for each tool are grouped in the UPT CSM schema by "Application".
...
It is necessary to have both UPT and caArray installed before you start creating caArray users.
Launch UPT
To launch the UPT application, first open a browser and access UPT via the URL: http://<jboss.server.hostname>:<jboss.server.port>/upt

For more information about how to use the UPT application, please refer to the UPT User Guide.
Create caArray Application with UPT
The following diagram shows the steps in creating a new application with UPT, as explained in the steps that follow.
Flow Diagram Showing Steps in Creating a New Application with UPT
Step 1. Login to UPT's CSM schema as "superadmin"
(This is the default username created during UPT installation). This step will sign you in to the UPT schema.
Username: superadmin
Password: changeme
Application: csmupt
Step 2. Create a User
This is going to be your application's admin. It is recommended not to use 'caarrayadmin', since 'caarrayadmin' is the default super user created in caArray CSM_user table for application data administration during caArray Installation.
Step 3. Create an Application (see sample below).
Step 4. Associate the User created in Step 2 with Application created in Step 3.
Step 5. Re-login to UPT with the username created in step 2, and with the application created in step 3 (This step signs you in the caArray Schema)
Step 6. Update Association.
Application Configuration
When you create the application, you will need to point this application to the actual application installed. It is important to enter consistent values as those specified in the application configuration file. Following is a sample set of parameters used to create the caArray application:

Create caArray Users with UPT
An application user can only be created after the application is created in UPT, when you log in as an application admin as shown in the illustration of login screens.
- Login to UPT with the information below:
- Username: application admin (such as: "caArray_User_Admin" created in step 2 above)
- Password: YourPassWord
- Application: caArray (created in step 3 above)
- Create a user
What happens at the database level?
During the installation process for UPT or other applications, a CSM schema is created for UPT and each application tool (except those applications that do not need a database). Each CSM schema has its sampler/default users and a role/permission structure. For the UPT CSM schema, "superadmin" is created by default, which has the privilege to create other users or applications. For the caArray CSM schema, "caArrayAdmin" is created by default, which is a "super User" with the privilege to view or modify all caArray's data. However, "caArrayAdmin" cannot create another caArray user.
...
The UPT Schema has database connection and administrator information for each application database. The CSM applications are included (caArray, Rembrandt, and caGWAS in the example), and the CSM_User admins. For each application, the schema lists the CSM admin and users.
