The default Shared Services deployment does not support delegated administration. You must enable Delegated User Management mode for Shared Services before you can create Delegated Administrators. Additional screens and menu options become available after you switch to Delegated User Management mode.
In Delegated User Management mode, the scope of the roles assigned to Delegated Administrators is restricted to the users and groups in their delegated list. Reverting to the default mode removes the restrictions and restores the original scope of the role. For example, assume that user del_admin1, who is assigned the Essbase Provisioning Manager role, is the delegated administrator for Esb_group1 and Esb_group2. Reverting to the default mode makes del_admin1 an Essbase Provisioning Manager for all users and groups.
To enable Delegated User Management mode:
Launch the Shared Services Console. See Launching Shared Services Console.
