You use the App/DB Access tab to grant application and database permissions that are, respectively, higher than the application-level and database-level permissions. In the tab, you can grant permissions only to groups, not to individual users. In any case, you can grant only permissions that are equal to or lower than your permissions.
The following boxes identify the group name and theEssbase Server instance on which the group was created.
Group name
Essbase Server
For each application listed under the Applications node, you can grant an application-level permission to the group:
None—Although the group is not granted direct access to the application, the group may inherit access, if the minimum permission for an application or any database in an application is higher than None or if the group is granted a filter that upgrades permission to particular cells.
Access Databases—The group can be granted permissions specific to each database.
Application Manager—The group is granted most of the permissions available to an administrator. Users within the group have full access to the application and can create and delete databases, disconnect users, define and assign filters, and remove data locks.
For each database listed under the Databases node, you can grant a database-level permission to the group:
None—The group cannot access any object or data value.
Filter—Group access is defined by a filter, which you can select.
Read—The group is granted read-only access, which includes the ability to execute (but not modify) report scripts.
Write—The group can read and update (but not calculate) data values and can execute (but not modify) Essbase objects.
Calculation—The group can read, update, and calculate data values. You can specify which calculation scripts the group can execute.
Database Manager—The group can read, update, and calculate data values and modify all database-related files.
In the following nodes, you can more specifically define Filter and Calculation permissions:
Filter—If you select any permission other than None, you can select a filter. The filter works in conjunction with the database permissions that you grant. See Managing Filters.
Calculations—If you grant Calculation permission, you can select which calculation scripts the group can execute, by selecting the “Allow all calculations” option or by selecting the “Select calculation scripts” option and selecting individual scripts.
