Assigning Application Access Type in Shared Services

Essbase and Planning have the concept of an application access type for Essbase and Planning users. For example, when an Essbase user is created using any Essbase administration tool, the user is automatically assigned the application access type “Essbase;” when a Planning user is created using the Planning interface, the user is automatically assigned the application access type “Planning.” A user’s application access type specifies whether the user has access to Essbase applications only, to Planning applications only, or to both.

In Shared Services Console, you can select a global Essbase Server application to see the list of users and groups provisioned to that application. See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.

When you assign database calculation and filter access, you automatically log on to Administration Services and Essbase as the Shared Services Console logged-in user. This user must be a valid Essbase Administrator and must have the Provisioning Manager role for the appropriate applications.
