Assigning Access for Dimension Members

Application dimensions can be protected by defining the users and groups that can access them. Access control can be defined for members of secure dimensions (default dimensions other than Currency, Period, and Year).

Only the custom dimensions that were created with the Apply Security option support the assigning of access control to members.

To define access control:

  1. Access Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace. See Accessing EPM Workspace.
  2. Open the Oracle Hyperion Planning application. See Accessing Planning Applications.
  3. Select Administration, then Manage, and then Dimensions.
    You can add members from this screen.
  4. Select the secure dimension for which security is to be assigned.
  5. Right-click the dimension and select Expand to display dimension members and their children.
  6. Select a dimension member.
  7. From Actions, select Assign Access.
  8. In Assign Access window, click Add Access button.

    Note:

    Only the users and groups provisioned to the current application are listed on the Add Access window.

  9. Select the users or groups who should be granted access to the selected member.
  10. From Type of Access, select the access to grant on the member.
  11. From the list, select access relationship. For example, select Children to assign access to the children of the selected member.
  12. Select Add.
  13. Select Close to return to the Assign Access window.
  14. Repeat step 6—step 13 to assign access to additional members.
