This section provides reference information about the resource permissions for Essbase that are configured by default when you install Essbase with Oracle Business Intelligence.
To access Essbase-related functionality, a user (or group, or application role that the user belongs to), needs to be granted one or more resource permissions. Essbase-related resource permissions are defined by resource type, name, and actions and are held in the Policy Store as part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware security model. See Managing the Policy Store in Securing Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.
Resource Type
Includes a named group of permissions.
Resource Name
Specifies the scope for which a permission applies.
Action
Defines what operation the permission allows the grantee to perform.
You manage Essbase-related resource permissions using Oracle Fusion Middleware Control. However, you can also use APIs in Oracle Platform Security Services using JMX or Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool.
Note:
When Essbase is installed with Oracle Business Intelligence, the functionality described in this chapter replaces that provided by Hyperion Shared Services for provisioning users.
