Note: | This functionality does not apply if Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode. |
If you have Create/Delete Users and Groups permissions, you can create a user on Essbase Server. You can create a user as an Administrator or as an ordinary user with specific permissions. You can also create a user by copying the security properties of an existing user. When you create a user, you can grant permissions that are equal to or lower than your own.
You can create a user who logs in using native Essbase authentication or external authentication. If you want an Essbase user to use external authentication, Essbase Server and Essbase Administration Server must be properly configured, as described in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
The permissions that you grant a new user apply to all applications and databases on Essbase Server. After you create a user, you can modify the user's permissions for specific applications and databases. For information about permissions, see About Security and Permissions.
If the user that you are creating needs to use Administration Services to manage Essbase, you also need to create the user on Essbase Administration Server.
To create a user on Essbase Server:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an Essbase Server.
Under the server node, expand the Security node.
Select the Users node, right-click, and select Create user.
If desired, select a different Essbase Server on which to create the user.
On the User Info tab, select the authentication model and the security type for the user.
Select and edit the Groups tab to manage the user's membership in groups.
Select and edit the App/Db Access tab to grant additional permissions to the user for specific applications and databases.
Click Apply to create the user.
Essbase creates the user on Essbase Server and updates the Users Window.
To create the same user name on another Essbase Server and give it the same properties as the one you just created, select a different Essbase Server and repeat these steps.
When you are finished creating users, click Close.
