Setting Application Access Type
Essbase and Hyperion Planning have the concept of an “application access type” for Essbase and
Hyperion PlanningPlanning users. For example, when an Essbase user is created using any
Essbase administration tool, the user is automatically assigned the application access type
“Essbase”; when a Hyperion Planning user is created using the Planning interface, the user is
automatically assigned the application access type “Planning.” A user’s application access type
specifies whether the user has access to Essbase applications only, to Planning applications only,
or to both.
When you select a global Analytic Server application from User Management Console, a screen
is displayed that lists all users and groups who are provisioned to that application. On this screen,
you select the users and groups for which you want to assign application access type. After
clicking Next to go to the next screen, you use the drop-down list to assign application access
type to the selected users and groups. For descriptive information about these two screens, click
the Help button on one of these screens to display a context-sensitive help topic.
When you assign database calculation and filter access, you automatically log in to
Administration Services and Essbase as User Management Console logged in user. This user
must be a valid Essbase Administrator and must have the Provisioning Manager role for the
appropriate application(s).
