User Administration View
The User Administration view is only available to an administrator. This view allows the administrator to automatically create and synchronize accounts for Siebel report users in the Actuate reports encyclopedia. The administrator can synchronize one account or multiple accounts at once from this view on an ongoing basis. It is recommended that the administrator run a query in this view to synchronize users in smaller buckets, particularly when a large number of users should be synchronized.
As the result of synchronization, an account with the same user ID that appears in the Siebel applications is created on the Reports Server. Also, a default folder with this name is created on the Reports Server, and basic privileges such as read, write, and execute are granted to that user to access the folder. Each Reports Server account is created with the same user ID as the Siebel user ID and a password. This user ID and password are stored in an encrypted format in the Siebel database, to be passed to the Reports Server when needed.
The navigation path to this view is View > Site Map > Reports Server > User Administration. An administrator account is established in the Actuate encyclopedia as part of the postinstallation tasks of the Reports Server (see Installing the Siebel Reports Server for Microsoft Windows or Installing the Siebel Reports Server for UNIX). This account allows the administrator to log in to the Actuate Management Console to perform ongoing administration tasks such as administering the encyclopedia and cleaning up the encyclopedia. For more information, see Maintaining the Actuate e.Reporting Server.
The User Administration view is shown in Figure 7.
This view has the following buttons and list columns:
- Last Name. The last name of the user, as stored in the employee table.
- First Name. The first name of the user, as stored in the employee table.
- User ID. The Siebel user ID for each user, as stored in the employee table.
- Job Title. The position of the employee.
- Menu button. The menu contains actions that apply directly to the applet.
- Query button. Click this button to generate a new form for entering the query criteria. The query results are displayed in the same applet from which the query was started.
- Synchronize All button. Click this button to create accounts (referred to as synchronization) for all displayed users in the Actuate encyclopedia. If a large number of users should be synchronized, please run a query to restrict the displayed list of users and then click Synchronize All.
- Synchronize One button. Click this button to transfer the currently selected user ID to the Actuate encyclopedia.
