8 Manage Essbase User Roles and Application Permissions

Essbase integrates with security managed by Oracle to create a highly secure environment.

Now that you have migrated from Essbase 11g On-Premise to Essbase 21c, this section explains the user roles and application permissions that you use to manage access in your Essbase 21c application environment. The roles and permissions, and how you assign them, vary depending on the identity provider you selected for user authentication.

Note:

If you're managing user roles on Essbase 21c on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure via Marketplace, see: Manage Users and Roles in the Essbase Stack Deployment on OCI documentation.

If you're using Shared Services authentication,

1. Provision users and groups using the Shared Services Console in your target EPM Foundation-only instance that you have configured with Essbase 21c.
2. Use your existing Shared Services user and application roles, or map to the WebLogic roles in Essbase 21c.

If you're using WebLogic Embedded LDAP authentication (with or without federation to an external identity provider),

1. Provision users and groups using the Essbase web interface or REST API in your Essbase 21c platform.
2. Use the WebLogic roles in Essbase 21c.
