On this page, in the “User name” box, the user's Essbase Administration Server username is displayed.
For the user, in the following boxes, you enter or select information:
“E–mail full name” and “E-mail address”—The name and address that are used when the user e-mails information from Administration Services Console to other administrators or to Technical Support (see E-mailing Essbase Information)
“Password” and “Confirm password”—Not required for externally authenticated users
Passwords are not case-sensitive and need not match the user's Essbase Server password. For length limitations, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
Administrator privileges—True or False
A user with Administrator privileges can create, modify, and delete Essbase Administration Server users and can modify the list of Essbase Server instances that is displayed in any Enterprise View. Users without Administrator privileges cannot change their own Essbase Administration Server privileges. This setting does not affect a user's Essbase Server permissions.
User Type—”Use native authentication” or “Use external authentication”
Select the “Use native authentication” option if external authentication is not configured and the user is authenticated internally by Administration Services.
Select the “Use external authentication” option if external authentication is configured and the user's Administration Services login information is stored outside the application.
