Note: | This functionality does not apply if Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode. |
If you have Create/Delete Users and Groups permissions, you can create groups of users on an Essbase Server. A group is a collection of users who have the same minimum security permissions. Creating groups saves you the time of assigning identical permissions to users. A group member may have permissions beyond those assigned to the group, if such permissions are assigned individually to that user.
After you create a group, you can add users to the group and grant the group additional permissions for specific applications and databases.
To create a group of users on Essbase Server:
From Enterprise View, select an Essbase Server.
Under the server node, expand the Security node.
Select the Groups node, right-click, and select Create group.
If desired, select a different Essbase Server on which to create the group.
On the Group Info tab, enter the group type and description.
Select the Users tab to add users to the group.
Select the App/Db Access tab, if you want to grant group permissions for specific applications or databases.
Click Apply to create the group. Essbase creates the group on the Essbase Server and updates the Groups Window.
To create the same group name on another Essbase Server and give it the same properties as the one you just created, select a different Essbase Server and repeat these steps.
When finished with creating groups, click Close.
