Responsibilities and Access in Siebel Analytics Applications

Siebel Analytics applications security is based on Responsibilities and Siebel Analytics repository groups. Permission and access are always determined by user's memberships in various responsibilities. In this case, Responsibility is interchangeable with Repository group and Web Catalog group; they have a one-to-one correspondence.

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.

By default, certain responsibilities have been set up for Primary position-based security. Your deployments may require changing these responsibilities to Organization-based security. This is done in the repository using the Server Administration Tool.
