Application Manager Permission

If your user role in Essbase is User and you have Application Manager permission for a particular application, you can manage the application and cubes.

With Application Manager permission for a particular application, you can do everything that a user with Database Manager permission can do, for all cubes in the application. Additionally, you can make copies of any cubes within the application. You can copy or delete the application if you are the owner (the power user who created it), and you can delete any of the cubes in the application, if you are the cube owner (the power user who created it). You can start/stop the application using the web interface, and you can view and terminate user sessions in the Console. Job types you can run include running MaxL scripts, and using Export LCM to back up cube artifacts to a zip file.

Using the database inspector, you can manage cubes in your application the same way that a Database Manager can, and additionally, you can purge audit records for cubes.

As an Application Manager, you also have access to the application inspector, which gives you control of even more operations. To open the application inspector from the web interface, start with the Applications page. From the Actions menu to the right of the name of the application that you manage, click Inspect to launch the inspector.

Using the application inspector, you can:

• Access and manage files related to the application
• Manage application-level connections and Datasources for access to external sources of data
• Change application configuration settings
• Provision and manage user and group permissions for the application and its cubes
• Add and remove application-level substitution variables
• Change general application settings
• View application statistics
• Download application logs
