When Essbase users are created, they are assigned as having an "application access type" of "Essbase," meaning that they have access to Essbase applications as defined by Essbase security. Other EPM products, such as Planning, may also assign an application access type to their users. Depending on licensing agreements, users may have access to more than one type of application. For example, users may have access to Essbase applications and Planning applications.
The Essbase application access type setting can be changed only using an Essbase administration tool, such as Administration Services or MaxL. Because the Planning application access type setting can be changed only using the Planning interface, the Planning check box is read-only.
Note: | This functionality does not apply if Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode. You must use the Shared Services Console to set application access type for users when Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode. |
To set the application access type for a user:
In Enterprise View or a custom view, under the appropriate Essbase Server node, expand the Security node.
Under the Security node, double-click the Users node.
In the Users window, click New to create a user, or select a user and click Edit.
In the Create User or User Properties window, select the User Information tab.
Under the Application access type node, select an application access type, as appropriate.
Click Apply.
