Essbase and Administration Services are deployed in EPM System security mode. EPM System security uses Shared Services as a centralized system for managing user and group access to EPM System products. EPM System security consists of corporate or native Shared Services user directories and a common user interface, called Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console. The Shared Services user management system enables you to manage and provision users for multiple EPM System products from a central location. Provisioning refers to the process of assigning roles and access permissions to users and groups for Essbase applications.
EPM System security requires access to a Shared Services server running Shared Services client and server software, and to a database dedicated to Shared Services. You can view Shared Services configuration information on the Configuration tab of the Essbase Server Properties window.
Essbase no longer supports Essbase native security mode. You must migrate Essbase deployments that are in Essbase native security mode to EPM System security mode. You can view whether or not an Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode on the Security tab of the Essbase Server Properties window. See Converting Essbase Server and Migrating Users to Shared Services.
