Authentication of provisioned users and groups by an external user directory. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide and its information on Planning.
Shared Services roles that set access permissions for managing application groups, applications, dimensions, users, and groups. For example, users must have these Shared Services roles to perform the specified tasks:
Project Manager: Creates and manages application groups in Shared Services.
Provisioning Manager: Provisions users and groups to applications.
Dimension Editor: Required for Performance Management Architect and Classic applications. For Performance Management Architect, allows access to application administration options for Planning. For Classic, allows access to the Classic Application Administration options for Planning (in combination with the Planning Application Creator role).
Planning Application Creator: Required for Performance Management Architect and Classic applications. For Performance Management Architect, allows users to create Planning applications and Performance Management Architect Generic applications. For Classic, allows access to the Classic Application Administration options for Planning (in combination with the Dimension Editor role). For detailed information on these roles, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
