Power User Role

Power User is a special user role that enables you to create applications on an Essbase service.

If you are a power user, you are automatically granted Application Manager privilege for applications you created. Your options for creating applications and cubes include creating them from scratch in the Applications page of the web interface, importing from an application workbook, building from Cube Designer, and using the LCM Import job (or the lcmimport CLI command).

You can delete and copy applications that you created.

As a power user, you can be assigned permission to work on applications that you did not create. If your assigned permission is lower than Application Manager, then your actions are restricted to the actions permitted for the application permission you were assigned. For example, if you are assigned Database Manager permission to an application created by another power user, then your access is restricted to what a User with Database Manager permission can do.
