Planning enforces two types of roles: Planning global roles and Planning application roles. Planning global roles (Dimension Editor and Planning Application Creator) are used to provision users who create Planning applications using Performance Management Architect. These are granted through the Shared Services Console. Planning application roles are also granted using Shared Services Console.
Planning artifacts such as Web forms and dimensions/members are maintained and defined from a Planning user interface. Security on these artifacts is defined from within the Planning application. Planning artifacts are stored in the Planning relational repository.
