Managing Group Membership

Note:

This functionality does not apply if Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode.

After you create Essbase Server users or groups, you can manage group membership by adding or removing users and by editing properties for a user or a group, as necessary. You cannot add users to a group that has higher permissions than your own.

You need Create/Delete Users and Groups permissions for an Essbase Server to edit user and group properties.

  To manage group membership for a user:

  1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, under the appropriate Essbase Server node, expand the Security node.

  2. Under the Security node, double-click the Users node.

  3. In the Users window, select the user.

  4. Right-click and select Edit properties.

    Note:

    You cannot edit properties for multiple users simultaneously.

  5. In the User Properties window, select Groups.

    The Member of groups list box lists the names of all groups to which the user belongs. The Not member of groups list box lists the groups on the Essbase Server to which the user can be added (to which the user does not belong).

  6. To add the user to a group:

    1. In the Not member of groups list box, select the appropriate group.

    2. Click the single-arrow button that points to the Member of groups list box.

  7. To remove the user from a group:

    1. In the Member of groups list box, select the appropriate group.

    2. Click the single-arrow button that points to the Not member of groups list box.

  8. To move all groups from one list box to another, click the appropriate double-arrow button.

  9. Click Apply.

    The user is now a member of only the groups listed in the Member of groups list box.

  To manage user membership for a group:

  1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, under the appropriate Essbase Server node, expand the Security node.

  2. Under the Security node, double-click the Groups node.

  3. In the Groups window, select the group.

  4. Right click and select Edit properties.

    Note:

    You cannot edit properties for multiple groups simultaneously.

  5. In the Group Properties window, select Users.

    The Members list box lists the names of all users in the group. The Non-members list box lists the Essbase Server users that can be added to the group (are not members of the group).

  6. To add a user to the group:

    1. In the Non-members list box, select a user.

    2. Click the single-arrow button that points to the Members list box.

  7. To remove a user from the group:

    1. In the Members list box, select a user.

    2. Click the single-arrow button that points to the Non-members list box.

  8. To move all users from one list box to another, click the appropriate double-arrow button.

  9. Click Apply.

    The group now includes only the users listed in the Members list box.
