Provisioning Essbase Application Artifacts

Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System enforces application- and artifact-level provisioning to ensure application and data security. Access to each EPM System application is restricted by provisioning users and groups with application roles. Typically, a Provisioning Manager uses the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console to provision users and groups to EPM System applications.

Some EPM System applications create their own artifacts; for example, reports and calculation scripts that belong only to the application. In most cases, access to application artifacts can be controlled by provisioning application users and groups. For example, a user creates filters and calculation scripts for an Oracle Essbase application using the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Console or MaxL. A Provisioning Manager for the Essbase application can use the Shared Services Console to provision these filters and calculation scripts.

Provisioning Managers can provision groups with roles from the applications for which they are defined as provisioning manager. Generally, the owner of the application (the user of who created and registered the application with Oracle Hyperion Foundation Services) is automatically granted the Provisioning Manger role of the application.

Before starting this procedure, ensure that the required servers and applications are running.

To assign application-specific access permissions:

  1. Access Shared Services Console as Provisioning Manager. See Launching Shared Services Console.
  2. In the View pane, expand the application group that contains the application for which you want to assign access permissions.
  3. Right-click the application and select Assign Access Control. This option is available only for applications for which access permissions can be set.

    Note:

    If the application is not running, an error message is displayed when you select the application. Start the application and refresh the View pane by clicking View, and then Refresh to access the application.

  4. Assign access permissions. See EPM System Roles for a list of product roles.
