You use the Copy User dialog box to copy users between Essbase Server instances or to use existing user profiles to create Essbase Server users.
Boxes in which you enter information:
Essbase Server—The current server or a different server, according to your permissions
New user name—Used if you are copying only one user
Limited in length (see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide)
Not case-sensitive
Special characters are allowed
Password—Password for Essbase Server authentication (not case-sensitive; for length limitations, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide). If you are copying multiple users, you must assign the same password to all users.
Note: | The Password box is available only when the “Use authentication” option is selected. |
The “Use Essbase Server authentication” option apples to the target server. If you are copying one user, the “Use Essbase Server authentication” option is selected (and cannot be cleared). The option enables Essbase native authentication for the user. The option is selected by default if the user is authenticated internally by Essbase on the source server.
The “Replace existing users” option is available whether you are copying one user or multiple users. If the option is selected, new users replace existing users of the same name.
Options that are available if you are copying multiple users:
Execute in the background—During the background execution of the copy process, you can exit the console, but you cannot shut down Essbase Administration Server. You can check the status of the process in the Background Process Status window.
Force password change next login—Native authentication users are prompted to change their passwords. Thus, you can assign a default password to all copied users and allow individual users to select their own passwords.
Keep current password—Users can retain their passwords.
Copy Administrators—You can copy users who have Administrator permissions.
