This appendix provides information that is specific to Essbase and Shared Services.
You can use Shared Services to provide security for Essbase applications, databases, and objects.
To use Shared Services security, you must migrate Analytic Server and any existing Essbase users
and groups to Shared Services.
For detailed information on Essbase security, see the Hyperion Essbase - System 9 Database
Administrator's Guide and the Hyperion Essbase - System 9 Administration Services Online Help.
See “Essbase Roles” on page 137 for information on Essbase roles.
Launching User Management Console from Essbase
To manage Essbase users in User Management Console, you must log in to User Management
Console as a user who is provisioned with the following Shared Services roles:
● Provisioning Manager role for the appropriate Analytic Server or applications.
● Directory Manager role for the appropriate authentication directory.
When you launch User Management Console from Administration Services, you automatically
log in to User Management Console as the Essbase user that connects the Analytic Server you
are accessing.
Note:
In Shared Services security mode, you must use the same user to log in to Administration Services
Console as you use to connect the Analytic Server.
