Module Access Detail Window of the Users Page
Overview
Use this detail window to assign module access for the selected user. Users cannot log into P6 without one of the following module access options selected: Projects, Portfolios, Resources, Contributor, or Enterprise Reporting. If the user only has a P6 Professional, Analytics, Team Member Interfaces, P6 Integration API, or P6 EPPM Web Services license, they will be prompted that they don't have a valid license.
Screen Elements
Module field
The name of each module. Modules represent components or distinct role-based functions of the P6 EPPM suite.
Access option
Determines whether to grant access to each corresponding module.
Contributor option
Determines limited user access to P6, such as the Dashboards and Projects sections (Activities page). For user interface views, only the options on the Activity Editing tab apply to contributors. Access to P6 functionality is additionally determined by a user's OBS access and relationship to the project, that is, whether the user is assigned as a resource to activities or designated as an activity owner. You must clear all other module access options in order to select Contributor module access; conversely, you must clear Contributor module access in order to select any other module access option.
Enterprise Reports option
Determines user access to the Reports section in P6. By selecting this module access option, the P6 EPPM user will be able to run reports.
Note: Security for reports is enforced when the report is run. See the P6 EPPM Oracle Analytics Publisher Configuration Guide for more information on security.
Integration API option
Determines user access to log into the PMDB database through P6 Integration API via Java.
P6 Analytics option
Determines user access only to the Star database through Oracle Business Intelligence. By selecting this module access option, a Star user is created for the P6 EPPM user as long as the user name matches Oracle database user name requirements. For example, if the P6 EPPM user name begins with anything other than a letter, a Star user cannot be created. Once a Star user is created, the user will be able to access the Oracle Business Intelligence Dashboards application.
P6 Professional option
Determines user access to P6 Professional.
Portfolios option
Determines user access to the following functionality in P6: the Portfolios section, Project Performance portlets, the Portfolio View portlet in the Dashboards section, document management functionality (if the Content Repository is configured), and workflow functionality (if the integration with BPM is configured).
Projects option
Determines user access to the following functionality in P6: the Projects section, Project Performance portlets in the Dashboards section, document management functionality (if the Content Repository is configured), and workflow functionality (if the integration with BPM is configured).
Resources option
Determines user access to the following functionality in P6: the Resources section, Resources portlets in the Dashboards section, document management functionality (if the Content Repository is configured), and workflow functionality (if the integration with BPM is configured).
Team Member option
Determines user access to the P6 for Android and P6 for iOS mobile apps and P6 Team Member interfaces: P6 Team Member Web and Email Statusing Service. All modules provide access rights to Email Statusing Service, P6 for Android, and P6 for iOS on iPhone, but only the Team Member Interfaces module access option provides access rights to P6 Team Member Web and P6 for iOS on iPad.
Timesheet option
Determines user access to Timesheets in P6 Team Member.
Visualizer option
Determines user access to Visualizer.
Web Services option
Determines user access to P6 EPPM Web Services, which uses open standards, including XML, SOAP, and WSDL, to seamlessly integrate P6 EPPM functionality into other applications. Using P6 EPPM Web Services, organizations can share P6 EPPM data between applications independent of operating system or programming language.
