Adding Access Privileges to a Location

  To add access privileges to a database location:

1. Launch the Administration Console by selecting Start > Programs > Hyperion > Administration Services > Start Administration Services Console.

2. In the Analytic Administration Services Login dialog box, enter the Administration Services server name and your user name and password to log on to Administration Services. Then click OK.

3. In the left navigation frame of Administration Services, expand the Business Rules node. Then expand the Administration node.

4. Expand the Locations node.

5. Under the Locations node, right-click the location to which you want to add access privileges and select Open.

   The Location Editor is displayed. It lists the user/group types, the user/group names, the repository object types, the repository objects names, and the access privileges for this location.

6. Click Add Access Privileges.

   The Add Location Access Privileges dialog box is displayed. It lists all of the rules, sequences, and projects whose access privileges you can add to this location.

7. In the Add Access Privileges dialog box, select the rules, sequences, and projects whose access privileges you want to assign to the location. Then click OK.

   Note:

   You can add sequences to the “All Locations” node only.

   The Add Privilege dialog box is displayed.

8. In the Add Privilege dialog box, do the following:

   1. From the Privilege drop-down list, select the type of privilege you want to grant:

      • Validate or launch - enables a users or users you specify to validate and launch the business rules and sequences in the database location.

      • Cannot validate or launch - prevents the user or users you specify from validating or launching the business rules or sequences in the database location.

   2. In the Available area, select users and/or groups of users for whom you want to add this access privilege. (You can select multiple users and groups using Shift + Click.) Then use the arrow keys to move users and groups among the Selected and Available areas of the dialog box. When you move users and groups to the Selected area of the dialog box, these users and groups have the access privilege you assigned.

      Note:

      The users and groups that are listed in the Available area are provisioned for use in Business Rules using the Shared Services User Management Console. Provisioning is the process of assigning roles and access privileges to users and groups for Business Rules. For more information about provisioning users for use in Business Rules, see the Hyperion EPM System Security Administration Guide. If new users are provisioned after the Administration Services server is started, you may need to refresh the list of users on the Users tab in the Available area of the Add Privilege dialog box. To refresh the list of users on the Users tab, right-click Administration, and select Refresh User List.

   3. Click OK to save the access privilege and return to the Access Privileges tab.

9. Click Save to save the changes to the access privileges of the location.
