User Guide

The provisioning process requires you to have both the Shared Services server and Performance
Scorecard configured and running. External authentication ensures that the applications can
communicate seamlessly to provision users easily and accurately.
To provision users to enable them to use Performance Scorecard, these main steps are required:
1. Register with Shared Services.
2. Create the users and groups.
3. Provision the users and groups with the Performance Scorecard properties: security role,
employee and primary domain.
4. Assign the Performance Scorecard properties to users and groups, either individually or
using one-time bulk provisioning.
Access Permissions
User provisioning through Shared Services requires configuration on both the Shared Services
server and Performance Scorecard applications. You can provision users and groups
individually, or using bulk provisioning.
Note:
The Shared Services Administrator is automatically provisioned to the Performance Scorecard
application.
