Screen Elements

See User Access Users Toolbar.

Associated Resource field

The Associated Resource of each user.

E-mail field

The e-mail address for each user.

Enable Modify option

Determines whether users can modify user interface options.

Enterprise Reports option

Determines user access to the Reports section in P6. By selecting this module access option, an ODS database user is created for the P6 EPPM user as long as the user name matches Oracle database user name requirements. For example, if the P6 EPPM user name begins with anything other than a letter, an ODS database user cannot be created. If the P6 EPPM user name contains spaces or disallowed special characters, they will be removed when creating the ODS database user name. Disallowed special characters include: { } [ ] : ; < > , . ? ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ | / \ ~ `. For example, a P6 EPPM user name of "mgr.example.com" will be created as "mgrexamplecom" in the ODS database. Once an ODS database user is created, the P6 user will be able to view and run reports to which the user has access in Oracle BI Publisher.

Notes:

  • If running in LDAP or SSO authentication mode and a user is granted Enterprise Reports module access, you will not be able to log into the ODS database directly through Oracle BI Publisher with the P6 EPPM user name if it contains spaces or disallowed special characters.
  • In order for a user to log into the ODS database directly (for example, using SQL Plus) with the P6 EPPM user name, a system database administrator must first reset the ODS database user's password.

P6 Analytics option

Determines user access only to the Star database through Oracle Business Intelligence. By selecting this module access option, a Star user is created for the P6 EPPM user as long as the user name matches Oracle database user name requirements. For example, if the P6 EPPM user name begins with anything other than a letter, a Star user cannot be created. Once a Star user is created, the user will be able to access the Oracle Business Intelligence Dashboards application.

P6 Professional option

Determines user access to P6 Professional, including Primavera Timescaled Logic Diagram.
