Issue/Introduction

You cannot access your CA User Activity Reporting Module - UARM (formerly CA Enterprise Log Manager (CAELM)) functions via your Embedded Entitlements Management (EEM) account. By default the EEM account does not have 'administrator' permissions to UARM. In order to have

'Administrator' permissions to UARM, you need to use your EEM account to create an administrator account for User Activity Reporting Module (formerly CA Enterprise Log Manager).
