The administrator manages users, security and databases, both on the desktop and the Web.
On the desktop component of the application, the administrator is responsible for these tasks:
● Set up and maintain databases and containers
● Create and drop database tables
● Install and configure application and associated properties
● Set up and modify authentication settings
● Manage users and groups
● Provision users to specific models and model data
● Assign owners to models and scenarios
● Convert models
For the Web component of the application, the administrator is responsible for the following
tasks:
● Configure application and Web servers
● Set up global tools on the Web Home Page, as outlined in the Hyperion Business Modeling
Web User's Guide.
In some instances, the tasks assigned to the administrator and model builder may overlap. The
Hyperion Business Modeling Model Builder's Guide provides additional detail and explanation in
cases where the administrator requires more information about the application.
If you are planning to import and export meta data and data between authorized Hyperion
applications through Shared Services, the administrator is also responsible to register products,
set up and manage models over the Shared Services, and create data integrations.
