Integrated Security for Responsibilities and Groups in Analytics Applications

Siebel Analytics applications security is based on Responsibilities and Siebel Analytics repository groups. A Repository group and a Web Catalog group are created for each Siebel Analytics-specific responsibility defined in the Siebel operational application. The group names are exactly the same as the responsibility name. Using the Siebel operational application, you assign users to the appropriate Analytics responsibilities, and the membership is automatically be reflected in the repository as well as the Web Catalog. The user inherits the appropriate permissions from the responsibilities.

NOTE:  Users are always created in the Siebel operational application database, never in the Siebel Analytics repository.
