Adding or Editing Access Privileges for a Business Rule Sequence

  To add or edit access privileges for a business rule sequence:

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. Right-click Sequences, and double-click the sequence for which you want to add new or editing existing access privileges.

   The Sequence Editor is displayed showing the Sequence tab.

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

   The Add Privilege dialog box is displayed.

6. 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 sequence

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

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

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

   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 rules in the sequence. For example, if you did not add Cluster1 to any of the rules in the sequence (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 sequence against all database locations and clusters assigned to the rules in the sequence. (This is the default selection.)

      • Choose a cluster to enable the user to validate and/or launch the sequence against this cluster only. The user can validate and/or launch the sequence 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 sequence 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 sequence. Then in the Select Database Outline dialog box, drill down to select a Planning or Essbase 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.

7. Click Save to save the changes you made to the business rule sequence’s access privileges.
