Managing Native Directory Groups

Native Directory users can be grouped based on common characteristics. For example, users can be categorized into groups such as staff, managers, and sales based on function, and Sales_West and Managers_HQ based on location. A user can belong to many groups.

Native Directory groups can contain other groups and users from user directories configured on Oracle Hyperion Shared Services.

Group affiliations of a user are important considerations in the authorization process. Typically groups, rather than individual user accounts, are used to facilitate provisioning.

Tasks performed by Functional Administrators and Directory Managers:

• Creating Groups

• Modifying Groups

• Deleting Groups

• Provisioning Users and Groups

• Deprovisioning Groups

• Generating Provisioning Reports

Note:

Groups on external user directories cannot be managed from Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console.
