About Mapping Roles

Oracle Essbase offers a choice of mapping user roles. Here they are compared.

A common use case for migrating of user and group roles are when migrating from Essbase 11g On-Premise using EPM 11g to Essbase using EPM Shared Services. This requires no role mapping.

Role mapping is relevant when migrating from Essbase 11g On-Premise using EPM 11g to the target Essbase 21g security, using WebLogic Embedded LDAP.
