Adding or Editing Access Privileges for a Business Rule

Note:

You cannot add multiple access privileges at one time. You must add access privileges one at a time.

*  To add access privileges for a business rule:

  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 a server name and your user name and password to log on to Administration Services.

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

  4. Expand the Rules node and double-click the business rule for which you want to add access privileges.

    If the business rule is a graphical business rule, the text of the business rule is displayed on the Graphical tab; if the business rule is a non-graphical business rule (that is, an enhanced calc script) the text of the business rule is displayed on the Source tab.

  5. Select the Access Privileges tab.

    Any existing access privileges are displayed on the Access Privileges tab. If you have not previously added access privileges, none are displayed on this tab.

  6. On the Access Privileges tab, click Add to add a new access privilege.

    The Add Privilege dialog box is displayed.

  7. 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:

      Note:

      The contents of the Privilege drop-down list vary according to whether you are adding access privileges for a business rule, sequence, macro, variable, or project. For example, if you are adding access privileges for a business rule, sequence, or project, the Privilege drop-down list contains all four of the types of privileges in the following list. If you are adding access privileges for a macro or variable, however, the Privilege drop-down list contains only the “Modify rule repository objects” and “Cannot modify rule repository objects” privileges.

      • Validate or launch - enables a users or users you specify to validate and launch the business rule

      • Modify rule repository objects - enables a user or users you specify to modify the business rule

      • Cannot validate or launch - prevents the user or users you specify from validating or launching the business rule

      • Cannot modify rule repository objects - prevents the user or users you specify from modifying the business rule

    2. If you selected Validate or launch or Cannot Validate or Launch in step a, from the Location drop-down list, do one of the following:

      Note:

      The locations and clusters that are available from the Location drop-down list are dependent on the locations you assigned to the rule on the Locations tab. For example, if you did not add Cluster1 on the Locations tab (or click Allow All Locations), Cluster1 is not available from the Location drop-down list.

      • Choose All Locations to enable the user to validate and launch the business rule against all database locations and clusters assigned to the rule. (This is the default selection.)

      • Choose a cluster to enable the user to validate and/or launch the business rule against this cluster only. The user can validate and/or run the rule against any location in the cluster. For more information on clusters, see Managing Clusters.

      • Choose a database location to enable the user to validate and/or launch the business rule against this location only. For more information on locations, see Managing Database Locations.

      • Choose Select Location to select a database against which the user can validate and launch the business rule. Then in the Select Database Outline dialog box, drill down to select a Planning or Analytic Services database and click OK.

    3. 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 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.

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

  8. On the Access Privileges tab, click Save to save the new access privilege.
