About Delegated User Management
Delegated user management enables creating a hierarchy of administrator users for Hyperion
products focusing on the expertise and access needs of such users. This feature allows the Shared
Services Administrator to delegate the responsibility of managing users and groups to other
administrators who are granted restricted access to manage users and groups for which they are
responsible.
In delegated administration mode, a search for users and groups retrieves only the users and
groups for which an administrator is responsible. Only the admin or users with the Administrator
Shared Services role can view all the users and groups across delegated administrators.
Hierarchy of Administrators
The default Shared Services Administrator account (admin) is the most powerful account in
Hyperion products. Hyperion recommends that you change the password of this account after
you first access Shared Services.
Two tiers of administrators exist in delegated administration mode:
● “Shared Services Administrators” on page 71
● “Delegated Administrators” on page 72
Shared Services Administrators
Hyperion recommends that you create Shared Services Administrator accounts similar to the
default admin account to administer Shared Services and other Hyperion applications.
