Shared Services Roles
All Shared Services roles are power roles. Typically, these roles are granted to power users who
are involved in administering Shared Services and other Hyperion products.
Role Name Description
Administrator Provides control over all products that integrate with Shared Services. It enables more
control over security than any other Hyperion product roles and should therefore be
assigned sparingly. Administrators can perform all administrative tasks in User
Management Console and can provision themselves.
This role grants broad access to all applications registered with Shared Services. The
Administrator role is, by default, assigned to the admin Native Directory user, which is
the only user available after you deploy Shared Services.
Directory Manager Creates and manages users and groups within Native Directory.
Do not assign to Directory Managers the Provisioning Manager role because combining
these roles allows Directory Managers to provision themselves.
The recommended practice is to grant one user the Directory Manager role and another
user the Provisioning Manager role.
