Synchronizing the Reports Administrator

The Reports Administrator must create an account on the Actuate e.Reporting Server, using an account name that has Siebel administrator privileges, and assign the administrative role to that account by using Actuate Management Console.

NOTE:  The administrator should review the Administering Actuate e.Reporting System manual before setting up an account for the administrator using Actuate Management Console.

To set up an administrator in Actuate Management Console

  1. Navigating from the Start menu, open Actuate Management Console.
  2. Choose Administrator as the user name, connect to an appropriate encyclopedia volume, type the appropriate password, and click Log In.
  3. In the left pane, select Users.
  4. In the right pane, click Create User.

    5. The User Properties window appears.

  5. On the General tab, type the administrator's login name in the name field. For example, type SADMIN.

    6. Do not make an entry in the Password field, leaving the field blank.

  6. Complete any other fields, as needed, and click Apply.
  7. While still in the User Properties window, click the Roles tab.
  8. Assign the Administrator role to the account (SADMIN) created in Step 5, and click OK.

To synchronize Reports Administrator on the Reports Server

  1. Login to Siebel eBusiness Application as the same administrative user (SADMIN) and from the application level menu select View > Site Map > Application Administration > Reports Server Administrator Profile.
  2. Do not make an entry in the Enter the current password in the Report Server field, leaving the field blank.
  3. Type a password of your choice in the Enter New Password field and click Save.

The Report Administrator's account is synchronized on the Reports Server. The administrator can now synchronize the accounts of all other Siebel users.
