About Content Repository Authentication Modes
P6 EPPM offers two content repository authentication modes. You can configure authentication for either single user authentication or multiple user authentication. In single user authentication mode, all P6 EPPM users access the repository using a single administrator user login that is set during repository configuration. In multiple user authentication mode, each P6 EPPM user is authenticated based on their individual login.
Single User authentication mode is useful when you want users to have full access to the content repository through P6 EPPM without having to maintain an equivalent list of users for both P6 EPPM and the repository. This allows a repository administrator to maintain one set of credentials for the repository without having to share those credentials with all users. Single user authentication is also useful for quickly setting up test repositories that testers can access with ease.
Multiple User authentication mode is the default mode. Multiple user authentication mode provides increased security by restricting content repository access on an individual user basis. Because it uses native auditing fields it also allows a clear audit of who has created and modified files.
Note:
- When using multiple user authentication mode, you should disable for the Oracle content repository Guest Access. If you leave Guest Access enabled and the guest user is not part of the P6 EPPM security group, that user will not be able to access P6 repository functionality.
- If you are using the Oracle Database as your content repository, you can only use multiple user.
See the P6 EPPM Application Administration Guide for more information about Single User and Multiple User settings.
