All Shared Services users can log in to Administration Services Console. The activities that users can perform in Administration Services Console, and by extension on the Essbase Server, are defined by the user's Essbase Server role assignments.
If Essbase is deployed in Shared Services mode, the Shared Services admin user account is used initially to administer Essbase Server and applications.
To provision users with Essbase server roles:
Log in to Shared Services Console as admin. See Launching Shared Services Console.
From a configured user directory, find the user or group to provision. See Searching for Users, Groups, Roles, and Delegated Lists.
Provision the user or group with an Essbase Server role.
Roles can be displayed in a hierarchy (tree) or a list. You must drill down the hierarchy to display available roles. The list view lists available roles but does not show their hierarchy.
In Available Roles, expand the Essbase node; for example, EssbaseCluster-1.
In the Essbase node, expand the node that represents the Essbase Server; for example, EssbaseCluster-1.
Select Essbase Server roles and click Add (right arrow). Table 16 describes Essbase Server roles.
