Assigning Security Roles

In Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management, each user ID is assigned a security role.

  • Administrator (admin is the default security role when you log on to Oracle Hyperion Shared Services)

  • Power User

  • Interactive User

  • View User

The assigned security role determines the level of access or privileges available for that user. A user can be granted multiple roles. Permission for a specific action, is checked at the time the action is initiated.

Note:

At least one user must be manually assigned the Provisioning Manager role in the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Console. This Provisioning Manager role enables that user to assign security roles to other users for the application. See the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System User Security Administration Guide

A user must exist and have an assigned security role before you can assign the user to a group. When an access level is assigned to a group of users, similar security access is granted to all members of that group. Depending on the access requirements for a particular user, the assigned security may be modified to attach a wider or narrower access. For example, a View User assigned to a group that has Power User security authorization assumes that higher level of security.

If a user must initiate and monitor taskflows, additional Shared Services roles are required, as shown on Table 2-1.

Caution:

If the user requires access to other products, such as an Application Creator in Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, or importing or exporting staging tables through Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Lifecycle Management,, those additional security roles must be assigned separately. See the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System User Security Administration Guide.

The security roles detailed in the following sections are specific to Profitability and Cost Management. For a complete description of all security roles, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System User Security Administration Guide for detailed instructions.
