Renaming Essbase Server Users

Note:

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

If you have Create/Delete Users and Groups permissions for an Essbase Server, you can rename a user. You cannot rename yourself, and you cannot rename users who are currently connected to the Essbase Server.

When you rename a user, the user name is updated in all groups to which the user belongs. In addition, if the user is also an Administration Services user, the name is updated automatically in the user's Essbase Administration Server user properties (Essbase Servers tab). The user's Essbase Administration Server user name is not affected.

If you rename an Essbase Server user outside Administration Services (for example, through MaxL or ESSCMD), to synchronize the user names, you need to manually update the user's Essbase Administration Server user properties (Essbase Servers tab).

  To rename a user:

  1. In 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 a user.

  4. Right-click and select Rename user.

  5. In the Rename User dialog box, enter a name.

  6. Click OK.

    Essbase renames the user, updates the Users window, and updates the user's Essbase Administration Server user profile.
