Default Native Directory Users and Groups

Native Directory, by default, contains the default administrator account (suggested default user name is admin). This account is used to create a System Administrator who is responsible for maintaining Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System security and system environment.

The System Administrator creates Functional Administrators who perform all Native Directory and Oracle Hyperion Shared Services administration tasks.

All EPM System users, whether defined in Native Directory or in an external user directory, belong to the WORLD group, the only default Native Directory group. WORLD is a logical group. All Shared Services users inherit the roles assigned to this group. A user gets the sum of all permissions assigned directly to that user as well as those assigned to the user's groups (including the WORLD group).

If Shared Services is deployed in delegated mode, the WORLD group contains groups as well as users. If the delegated list of a user contains the WORLD group, then the user can retrieve all users and groups during searches.
