You use the App/Db tab to grant application and database permissions that are higher than the application-level or database-level permissions. In this tab, you can grant permissions only to Essbase Server users. In any case, you can grant only permissions that are equal to or lower than your permissions.
The following boxes display basic user information:
User name
Essbase Server—The Essbase Server instance on which the user was created
For each application listed under the Application node, you can select one of the following application-level permissions:
None—Users are denied access to the application and to any database within the application. However, if the minimum permissions for an application or a database is higher than None or if the user is granted a filter that upgrades permission to particular cells, the user may inherit access.
Access Databases—Users are granted access to one or more of the databases of the application, depending upon which databases and how many databases you select.
Application Manager—Users have full access to the application and can create and delete databases, disconnect users, define and assign filters, and remove data locks.
For each database listed under the Databases node, you can select one of the following database-level permissions:
None—Users can access no object or data value within the database.
Filter—Users have the permissions that are granted by the filter that you select.
Read—Users can read data values and execute (but not modify) report scripts.
Write—Users can read and update (but not calculate) data values and can execute (but not modify) Essbase objects.
Calculation—Users can read, update, and calculate data values.
If you select Calculation, you can permit users to execute specific calculation scripts (by selecting one or more scripts in the Calculations node) or permit users to execute all calculation scripts (by selecting the “Allow all calculations” option).
Database Manager—Users can read, update, and calculate data values and modify all database-related files.
Note: | If you select any database permission other than None, you can select a filter from the Filter node. The filter works in conjunction with the database permissions that you granted the user. |
