Creating Groups in Essbase Native Security Mode

Groups comprise users who share minimum access permissions. Placing users in groups can save you the time of assigning identical permissions to users again and again.

Note:

A member of a group may have permissions beyond those assigned to the group, if permissions are also assigned individually to that user.

The process for creating, editing, or copying groups is the same as that for users, except that there are no group passwords. You define group names and permissions just as you do for users.

When you create a user, you can assign the user to a group. Similarly, when you create a group, you can assign users to the group. You must define a password for each user; there are no passwords for groups.
