Adding or Editing Access Privileges for a Variable

  To add access privileges for a variable:

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 Global Variables node and double-click the variable to which you want to add access privileges.

5. Select the Access Privileges tab.

   Any existing access privileges are displayed on the Access Privileges tab. If you have not created access privileges for this variable previously, 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 one of 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.

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

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

   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 for the variable.

      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.

   3. 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.
