Creating Node Access Groups

To create a node access group:

  1. On the Home page, select Administer.
  2. From New, select Node Access Group.
  3. Enter a name, label, and description for the group.

    Note:

    The node access group will be assigned to the Custom namespace. The Fully Qualified Name for the group must be unique. The Label field is filled in automatically after entering the name. The node access group label is a user-friendly descriptor that is displayed for all features aside of application administration. Multiple node access groups can have the same Label for convenience purposes.

  4. Select a Group Type for the node access group.
    • Interactive––To use interactive access levels; see Table 5-1.

    • Workflow––To use workflow-oriented access to versions, hierarchies, and nodes in the context of submitting, enriching, approving, committing, and being notified of requests. See Workflow Node Access Levels.

  5. Optional: Select Global to make the group a global node access group.

    Note:

    Global node access groups must have a controlling hierarchy defined in every version where the group will be used. After a group is created, you can assign it to a single hierarchy in each version as a controlled node access group.

  6. If using Common User Provisioning, from External Group select a user group provisioned to the Oracle Data Relationship Management application in Oracle Hyperion Shared Services. Users in this external group will be assigned membership to the node access group when a synchronization from Shared Services takes place.
  7. Select users from the Available list to assign to the group. Use the arrows to move users to the Selected list.
  8. Click Save button.
