User Type in Shared Services

All,
I am on 9.3.1
Until now I have users only to planning app.
Now most of the above users need access to a native essbase app (with out planning).
In SharedServices, Under projects->AnalyticServer->AnalytciServer, only users are listed (no groups) and their "User Type" is planning.
Now I have to change them to "Planning, Essbase" for each user.
I didn't find "User Type" in corresponding section in the export of CSSImportExport utility.
have lots of users , Is there any way to automate?
Thanks
Krishna

Make sure the users/groups have the essbase role of server access
Then in shared services right click the essbase server and select "assign access control", select users/groups then you should be able to define the type of access essbase/planning.
Cheers

  • Automagic User Provisioning Essbase + Shared Services

    Hello All,
    I have recently been able to figure out how to use the Shared Services API for 11.1.2 in a previous post:
    Shared Service API Working 11.1.2
    However, all of the user management and provisioning examples work with native users. Has anyone used this API with active directory or LDAP users? Is there some other way (export/import utility)?
    My problem is that I need to be able to script the user management with shared services and have not been able to find much help. In the past, we ran Essbase in standalone mode and were able to handle this via MaxL generating essbase native user accounts. This will no longer work since we want to use shared services when upgrading to Essbase 11.

    After your comments I looked a bit more closely at the DDL for create user. It looks like i need "type external";
    MAXL> create user 'someuser' type external;
    OK/INFO - 1056060 - User [jdp5209] created.
    This is what i want!
    MAXL> create user 'someuser' identified by 'somepass';
    OK/INFO - 1056060 - User [someuser] created.
    This is not what i want, creates Shared Services native user.
    It seems obvious now, but before, shared services (CSS module to essbase) was "external" so the old external is the new native.
    Sorry, new to shared services! This works. Thanks all

  • NSAD user directory for shared services not working

    Hi!
    Im trying to configure a MSAD user directory for shared services in Essbase 11.1.2.1. I have done it correctly in Essbase 9.3.1.
    Back then i had to import certificates to the cacerts java file. Is it still necesary? I dont see it mentioned anywhere in the v.11 docs, however, its not working using same parameters. I get an error saying i have specified "either host or port value incorrect".
    Do i have to import certificates or am i missing anything else, can anybody help?
    Thanks!!
    Jorge

    Certificates have nothing to do with MSAD.
    when you reach to "MSAD user configuration" tab in Shared Services, try to see if you can auto configure user by inputting: sAMAccountNmae="some user ID", replace some user ID with your or admin ID, and verify if you can pull the users from the MSAD.

  • How to Create Bulk Users in Hpyerion Shared Services Console

    Hi All,
    I need to create bulk users in Shared Services Console. Since i have huge number of users so i don't want to use Front End. Instead i prefer to upload some CSV sort of stuff.
    For this i export Shared Services console and open its Users.csv file.
    Now my plan is to add all my users here and then will Import that Shared Services Console backup.
    The only point where i am confused is that how should i specify Encrypted Passwords in Users.csv file and also what should i write in "internal_id" column

    If you are using LCM and these are native users then you should be able to enter an uncrypted password and when it is imported it should be encrypted.
    Leave the internal id column blank for new users, test by creating one new user.

  • Duplicate External Users in Hyperion Shared Services 11.1.2

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone had the same similar issue with Hyperion 11.1.2 Shared Services while configuring with MSAD. When i configure shared services with MSAD and create a group in Native Directory and add users to the group i see a duplicate user is getting created.
    For Eg: Adding xxx user to group abc after save and right click on the native group and properties ans select users tab i see two users listed.
    xxx ( which was added by me)
    xxx$(which created by itself).
    Opened up SR regarding this i havent found any luck wondering if anyone could help me out with this.
    MSAD User configurations:
    Login Attribute: sAMAccountname
    First Name Attribute: givenName
    Last Name Attribute:cn
    Email Attribute:mail
    Object Class: person
    organizationalPerson
    user

    Hello,
    Please confirm you only have one MSAD provider setup in Shared Services?

  • How to disable the User directory in Shared Services?

    Hello,
    We need to disable (Not Delete) the User Directory in Hyperion Shared Services. We are using the Hyperion version 9.3.1. Is there a way we can do this?
    Thanks
    S

    From the 9.3.1 docs:
    "If you do not want to use a configured user directory that was used for provisioning, remove it from the search order so that the user directory is not searched for users and groups. This action maintains the integrity of provisioning information. It also enables you to use the user directory at a later time, if needed."

  • How to extract external directory users from a shared services group from shared services RDBMS repository

    Hi,
    I have a security group in shared services, which has external directory users. I want to extract the list of users from shared services RDBMS repository using a SQL query. Please let me know if this is possible and from which table(s) I can query such list.
    Thanks...

    You need to use CSS_Groups, CSS_GROUP_MEMBERS and CSS_USERS tables in your Foundation DB. Something like below will give you these details:
    select b.Name  ,a.Name  from HYPFOUND.CSS_GROUPS b ,
    HYPFOUND.CSS_USERS a ,
    HYPFOUND.CSS_GROUP_MEMBERS c
    WHERE c.MEMBER_IDENTITY = a.IDENTITY_ID and
    c.GROUP_IDENTITY = b.IDENTITY_ID
    GROUP BY (b.Name,a.name)

  • User report in shared service

    Hi, I have many user and many group. I would like to check what group that each user in. (actually I can check in properties for each user but it's too many user)
    Is there any report can show member of user group?
    Thanks in advance

    If you are on version 11, you can use Life Cycle Management to export security. This will include all the users and the groups that they belong to. Have a read of this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_lifecycle_management/lcm_security_migration.htm

  • Shared Services Console - User is not authorized for the action

    Hi,
    I have installed Essbase 11.11.3 and configured on Linux. I started EPM and then the Shared Services Console. I created a new group Poweruser and assigned a new user to it. I provisioned the group withall the rights of the admin. This all works.
    When I log on with the new user on the Shared Service Console and go to Essbase Studio Server and click on the Essbase Studio Server application it gives me the message:
    User is not authorized for the action
    This is the same message as I get under the user admin. Can anyone tell me what I can possibly do to make it work.
    The service for EAS is started properly. The one thing that is not configured is HBR.
    Patrick

    Hi,
    What are you trying to achieve, provision a user for essbase studio ?
    EAS is a separate product from Studio.

  • Issue in Shared Services with corp user IDs

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with corp user IDs in Shared Services. The issue is that I am able to add corp user IDs to a group but I am not able to remove some of them from the group for some reason especially those corp user IDs that were added few weeks or months ago.
    What I noticed is if I add a corp user ID today and try to remove it today itself it is letting me do it but those corp IDs that I added to the group weeks before it is not letting me remove them. I tried to push the corp user ID from right hand side to the left hand side and then saved the changes. It shows the message that the group has been modified but when I go back again and check in the group I find the user there on the right side where it shows all user members. Not sure why this is happening.
    Any ideas on this? Please do share your inputs.
    Thank you.
    ~ Adella

    Hello Mehmet,
    Thank you so much for your response.
    Well, I think I tried at both the places yet I am facing the same issue. If I add any corp user now and immediately take it off in minutes it lets me do it. But if I try to take out a user who was added to the group weeks ago it is just not letting me do it. It does give the messages that the gourp has been modified but when I come back again and look at the group its there.
    Its weird and I am not sure whats going wrong. Is it some kind of a bug?

  • Shared Services 11.1.2 Unable to remove assigned user from a security group

    In Shared Services 11.1.2 - trying to remove a user from the assigned users list of a security group. Initially, I am able to remove the user and the assigned users total decreases by one - but when I relaunch the group properties - this user is still in there? The change does not hold. Any suggestions would be appreciated - thanks,
    Paul

    Hello Paul,
    Not sure if this is related to yours, but it might be worth having a look at the following articles on Oracle support --
    External users in EPM Shared Services (e.g. MSAD users) cannot be removed from Native groups if they have multiple IDs in the external user directory. [ID 1526569.1]
    Users from External User Directories Cannot be Removed from Native Groups [ID 1272309.1]
