Provisioning Users and Groups with Essbase Server Roles

All Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System users can log in to Oracle Essbase Administration Services Console. The activities that users can perform in Administration Services Console, and by extension on the Oracle Essbase Server, are defined by the user's Essbase Server role assignments.

If Essbase is deployed in Oracle Hyperion Shared Services mode, a Functional Administrator account is used initially to administer Essbase Server and applications.

To provision users with Essbase server roles:

  1. Log in to Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console as a Functional Administrator. See Launching Shared Services Console.
  2. From a configured user directory, find the user or group to provision. See Searching for Users, Groups, Roles, and Delegated Lists.
  3. Provision the user or group with an Essbase Server role.
    1. Right-click the user or group, and then select Provision.
    2. Optional: Select a view.

      Roles can be displayed in a hierarchy (tree) or a list. You must drill down the hierarchy to display available roles. The list view lists available roles but does not show their hierarchy.

    3. In Available Roles, expand the Essbase node; for example, EssbaseCluster-1.
    4. In the Essbase node, expand the node that represents the Essbase Server; for example, EssbaseCluster-1.
    5. Select Essbase Server roles and click Add button.
      See Essbase Roles for description of Essbase Server roles.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Click OK to close the confirmation screen.
