Native Directory

Native Directory refers to the relational database that Oracle Hyperion Shared Services uses to support provisioning and to store seed data such as default user account, and additional users and groups that you create.

Native Directory functions:

  • Maintains and manages the native user accounts

  • Maintains and manages the native group accounts

  • Central storage for all Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System provisioning information; it stores the relationships among groups, roles, and applications

An administrator account, with the default name admin, is created during the deployment process to create a System Administrator who manages EPM System security. This is the most powerful EPM System account. The user name and password of this account is set during Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services deployment.

Directory Managers access and manage Native Directory using the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console. See Managing Native Directory.
