The name of the Essbase security group. If the group is authenticated with Shared Services, the name must match a valid group name on one of the configured authentication repositories.
Group name guidelines:
Non-Unicode application limit: 256 bytes
Unicode-mode application limit: 256 characters
Group names must start with a letter or a number
If the group name contains any special characters (see MaxL Syntax Notes), the name must be enclosed in single or double quotation marks.
When Essbase is in EPM System security mode, GROUP-NAME can include a user directory specification or unique identity attribute.
In EPM System security mode, user and group names can be non unique, if you specify either the user or group's provider directory or unique identity attribute.
name (see MaxL Syntax Notes)
name@provider
WITH IDENTITY ID-STRING
where provider is the name of a user directory (such as LDAP or Active Directory) that hosts the external group, and ID-STRING is a unique identity assigned to every user and group (if Essbase is in EPM System security mode).
Note: | If a user or group name includes the @ character, you must specify the provider as well, or else Shared Services considers the @ character as a delimiter indicating a provider name. For example, if you want to log in user admin@msad which is on a Native Directory provider, you must specify 'admin@msad@Native Directory'. |
