Create the required end users with the correct filters.
Create accounts for users at the data target.
See Managing Users and Groups in Essbase Native Security Mode.
Create read and write filters at the data target to determine what end users can view and update.
See User Management and Security in EPM System Security Mode.
If you are creating a replicated partition, determine whether users can make changes to a replicated partition at the data target. The update setting (which allows or disallows updates) overrides user filters that allow users to update data.
When creating replicated partitions using the create replicated partition MaxL statement, if you do not specify the update allow grammar, replicated partitions cannot be updated by default. See the Oracle Essbase Technical Reference.
When creating replicated partitions using Administration Services Console, by default, replicated partitions can be updated. See the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
If you are creating a linked partition, create accounts for users at the data source. Users accessing linked databases may need to connect to multiple databases.
