Inheritance Policy for Nested Groups

If you use nested groups from Native Directory to mimic nested SAP groups for provisioning,

the component groups inherit the roles assigned to the nested group. The illustrated concept:

In addition to the roles assigned directly to it, each component role (for example, Group2)

inherits all the roles assigned to the nested group (Role8 and Role9 in the illustration). For

example, the role assignment of Group1 in the illustration is Role1, Role8, and Role9. The nested

group does not inherit the groups assigned to component groups.

● <

Hyperion_Home

C:\Hyperion (Windows)

● <

HSS_Home

> denotes the Shared Services root directory. For example:

C:\Hyperion\deployments\<

App_Server_Name
