Use this tab to grant application and database security permissions for users within security groups.
Hierarchical tree view of applications and databases—Select an application or database to work with user or group permissions.
Show assigned groups—Only view groups with current access to the selected application or database.
Application Access—The current application access permission. Select an option to change:
None—Grants users in the group no access to the selected application or database. The user can still inherit access if the application or any database in the application has a higher minimum permission than None, or if the user is granted a filter that upgrades permission to particular cells.
Access Databases—Enables users in the group to grant specific permissions to users for each database in the application.
Application Manager—Grants users in the group most permissions available to an Administrator, but only for the selected application. The user has full access to the application and can perform the following tasks for this application:
Create and delete databases.
Disconnect users.
Define and assign filters.
Remove locks on data.
If the permission is Application Manager, you cannot change it.
Database Access—Displays the current database access permission. Disabled if an application is selected. To change access permission, select an option:
None—Removes access to any object or data value in the selected database.
Filter—Grants users in the group access as defined by a filter assigned to the user for the selected database. Enables you to select a filter to assign to the user.
Read—Grants users in the group read-only access to the database, including permission to execute (but not modify) report scripts.
Write—Grants users in the group permissions to read and update (but not calculate) data values in the database, including permission to execute (but not modify) Essbase objects.
Calculation—Grants users in the group permissions to read, update, and calculate data values in the database. Enables you to select specific calculation scripts that the user can execute against the database. See Assign Calculations Dialog Box.
Database Manager—Grants users in the group permissions to read, update, and calculate data values in the database and permissions to modify all database-related files. Database Managers have permission to execute any calculation script against the database.
Filter—Displays the filter associated with the group for the selected database. If you select any Database Access permission other than None, you can select a filter from the Filter node.
Assign Calculations—Selects calculation scripts that users in the group can execute. Opens the Assign Calculations dialog box. Enabled when Database Access permission is Calculation.
