About Users and Roles

To provide Essbase access to users, you must first assign an Essbase role to the users from your identity provider, and then assign them application-level permissions.

Access to Essbase is restricted by security, and user accounts are managed in the identity domain, using OCI Identity and Access Management (IAM) or Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS).

The following are common use cases for assigning Essbase access to users:

• Users can view and access cubes (databases) for which they were assigned access to the related applications.
• Power Users can create enterprise-level cubes and grant other users access to applications for which they have an Application Manager role.
• Service Administrators can assign users at all levels and manage all aspects of the applications, cubes, and users.
• Service Administrators can assign a Database Update role for users who need to update data in a cube.

Oracle Identity Cloud Service doesn't support creating nested groups (assigning a group to a parent group).
