Provisioning Users and Groups
Provisioning is the process of granting roles from Hyperion applications to the users and groups
that are available in the configured user directories. Provisioning is managed at the user or group
levels by Provisioning Managers or Shared Services Administrators assigning one or more
Hyperion application roles to a user or group. See “Provisioning (Role-Based Authorization)”
on page 14 for detailed information on how provisioning works.
Note:
Provisioning managers cannot modify their own provisioning data.
Tip:
To facilitate administration, Hyperion recommends that you provision groups rather than users
and that you use aggregated roles.
➤ To provision users or groups:
1 Launch User Management Console, as explained in “Launching User Management Console” on page 33.
2 Find a user or group to provision.
See “Searching for Users, Groups, Roles, and Delegated Lists” on page 34.
3 Right-click the user or group, and select Provision.
The Provisioning tab is displayed.
4 Optional: Select a view.
Roles can be displayed in a hierarchy (tree) or a list. You must drill down the hierarchy to display
available roles. The list view lists all available roles but does not show their hierarchy.
