Provisioning Users with Essbase Application Roles

Each Oracle Essbase server can have multiple Essbase applications, each with its own databases. Essbase server users must be provisioned separately to each application and its databases.

To provision users with Essbase application roles:

1. Log in to Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console as a Functional Administrator. See Launching Shared Services Console.

   Note:

   Users provisioned with Provisioning Manager role of an Essbase application can provision other users with roles from the application.

2. Find a user or group to provision.

   See Searching for Users, Groups, Roles, and Delegated Lists.

3. Select Administration and then Provision.
4. Optional: Select a view.

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

5. Expand the node that represents your Essbase Server; for example, EssbaseCluster–1.
6. Under the Essbase Server node, expand the node representing the Essbase application that you created in the preceding section.
7. Select Essbase application roles, and click .
   See Essbase Roles for a list of Essbase application roles and their embedded permissions.
8. Click OK.
9. Click OK.
10. Optional: Repeat step 2—step 8 to provision other users with roles from this Essbase application.
11. Optional: Repeat step 6—step 9 to provision the selected user with roles from other Essbase applications belonging to this Essbase Server.
