After Administration Services Console opens, you are asked to connect to an Essbase Administration Server. You can, thereafter, connect to and disconnect from Essbase Administration Servers from Enterprise View. You can connect to only one Essbase Administration Server at a time.
If you are connected to an Essbase Administration Server and need to connect to the Essbase Administration Server as another user, you must disconnect and then reconnect as a new user. The new user's settings and custom views are displayed.
Connections to individual Essbase Servers are handled by the Essbase Administration Server to which you are connected. Administration Services user names and passwords may differ from Essbase Server user names and passwords. For information about how Essbase Server connections are established, see About Essbase Connections and Ports.
After connecting to Essbase Administration Server for the first time, see User Setup Wizard to create users and set up Essbase Server access.
For information about Essbase Administration Server ports, see Specifying Communication Ports for Essbase Administration Server.
