Administrators can attach employees to the user accounts that they create in Oracle's Hyperion® Shared Services. Assigning an employee to a user account enables the person using the account to access the data that the employee can access. This, in addition to these factors governs the data that you, represented by an employee, can use:
Security role—Specifies the measures, initiatives, scorecards, web pages, and reports that you can access. Explicit access: Enables users to only access domains that you select.
Domain—Representation of the functionally or geographically specific corporate area in which you work, such as a regional office or department. To create objects such as maps, measures, and scorecards for a domain, an administrator must assign the generic domain designer security role to your account. Otherwise, the designer role should be assigned. To work with data in all domains below yours, an administrator must give you implicit access. To work only with data in a specific domain, use the explicit access
To identify the accounts that need to be provisioned in Shared Services for Performance Scorecard employees, perform a Synchronize User Accounts With Employees command as described in Chapter 2 of the Oracle Hyperion Performance Scorecard Administrator Guide. If you have the designer security role, you can also create and assign employees to empty accounts.
