Business rules security in task lists

Hi experts,
I have question regarding security in business rules, the problem is that we have, lets say, 10 users who have all access to a tasklist, but not all of them have access to the same forms / business rules. The ideal would be that if a user has no access to a form, it doesnt show in the tasklist, but he gets to see the form in the tasklist and when he opens it he receives an error message. We can get the user to accept that. But with business rules, the case is different: when a user clicks on a business rule on the tasklist he has no access to, instead of receiving a message denying access, he gets a screen with all the business rules he does have access to, and checkboxes to select the plan type the BR will run on, which is unacceptable and confusing. There are many users and creating custom tasklist for each one of them would be too hard to mantain. Is there a way to achieve a better solution for the user? Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi,
I don't think of any other way.
The user have access to task list so it will show all tasks, and if the user don't have access to any particular web form it will throw an error informing same only once user open the web form.
For Business Rule it will show all rule/calc scripts for which user have access too, if the user don't have access to rule attached to that task.
I had same requirement and then after trying for some time, we provided education about the same to the users.
Regards,

  • Business Rules Security based on work flow

    Hello,
    How can we enable security on Business Rules, based on the workflow,
    for example,
    we have Business rule, that is attached to one input form, which opens a window for entering run time prompts for entering
    new asset details, and after entering he saves and the planning unit is promoted to next level,
    but on the input form, the Business rule is still visible, where by he can enter the the details though the planning unit is promoted,
    Is there any way that makes the Business rule access disables/hides as the planning unit is promoted?
    Thanks,
    murali.

    There is currently no out-of-the-box integration between workflow and business rule security.
    This thread may help with some alternatives:

  • Business Rules Security Question

    I have a sequence having 6 business rules. I am providing lunch previlege to a group for that sequence.
    Is that enough for the group to execute the sequence or I have to provide indivdual lunch previlege to each business rule listed in the sequence?

    Hi,
    I would say the group needs access to the business rules as well, if you don't and give just access to the sequence I don't think they would see the sequence.

  • Business Rule Security not refreshing?

    I have a business rule project that contained a bunch of rules and have a user that is part of a group that was granted launch access to that project. If I remove a rule from the project, in theory that user should no longer see that rule in Planning but that's not happening. The user still sees all the rules including the ones that used to be in the project but have since been removed.

    1) I've verified that the sec. group that the user belongs to is only provisioned with business rule "basic user". Also verified that the rule that was taken out of the project does not contain any access previlges of it's own
    2) No overlapping projects
    3) Have already tried refresh security from SS, migrate users in HBR, Planning migrate\refresh with no luck
    It seems like some sort of refresh disconnect because like I said, user can still see rules that don't have any rule level access previlge assigned but did at one point exist in a project that did enable access via project level access. Once I took the rule out of the project, security to it should have gone away.
    Thanks

  • Business Rules security issue

    We have been unable to access the business rules in out QC environment for a while. When you try to expand on them in EAS we get the error
    Error logging in to Business Rules. The repository has not been configured or you are not authorized to use Business Rules.
    Our dba recently upgraded the SQL server to a new machine and thought everything was ok. I just noticed in Shared Services that it still shows the old SQL server name in there. So how do we point it to the new SQL server?

    I thought that would take care of it but we got this error:

  • Business Rules security from EAS throwing error while adding locations

    Hi,
    Currently we are trying to provide security to the BR's from EAS. As a part of which, we are trying to add location to the BR's. When we expand the Planning node on Locations, it throws the error, "Cannot connect to the Planning server <server name>". When we expand the Essbase server, we do see the application and database, but after a long time, around 10 mins.
    After a call with Oracle, we have restarted the services RMI, EAS and planning in the sequence suggested. Also checked the RMI service, its running fine as well. Below is the error from hbrclient.log
    "2011-08-06 20:41:58, 076 Warn AWT-Eventqueue -0 com.hyperion.hbr.core.metadatamanagerserviceremote - cannot retrieve connected rppt element for planning/a01gidssapp2a"
    Hbrserver.log doesnt have any error. We also have performed reconfiguration of Planning services, but still no help.
    Appreciate if someone can help us resolve the issue, since we have to release the servers for Planning by tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

    I assume that you are using BR as calculation module.
    1. Try creating a new test user say HBRADMIN,
    2. Provide him the admin access to BR, Essbase and Planning App,
    3. Log into Planning Application,
    4. Check the HBR Plugin Data table in EAS schema/databse, see if there is any entries in that table,
    5. Now, Log into EAS console,
    6. Try creating a test BR,
    7. Select outline,
    8. Select Location,
    9. Add access.
    If there is no entry in the HBR Plugin table, try making a manual entry, below is an example:
         HP11113     11333     App1     HP11113     admin     AABPAAANAAEKAAEHAABPAADOAAAIAAFG     8/7/2011 1:05:16 PM
    AABPAAANAAEKAAEHAABPAADOAAAIAAFG is an encrypted password for 'password'.

  • Business Rules Security Disappears

    We have a strange problem in 11.1.2.1 Version.
    When we assign access to BR's in the planning application to few Groups and Refresh the application. These Groups access to BR's works well after sometime the Groups access to BR's disappears even without any changes being done.
    Is this a bug in the newer version or something wrong in assigning the access.
    Any help is appreciated

    we have had the similar issue with version 9.3, was related to a patch upgrade, not sure if this is a bug.

  • Business Rule Security

    Hi All,
    Do we need to give access permissions "LAUNCH" to the BR exclusively to all users...................or do we need to give LAUNCH permissions only to the BR which have got RTP...............do we need to give LAUNCH access permissions to the BR which are associated to the webforms & have run on save & doesnt have RTPs(If we dont give lauch then does the BR calc)
    Appreciate your response.

    Hi,
    You need to give access to all the BR's as well as all the global variables/RTPs that you have created. The best option would be to create a Group, which will have all the users you intend to give access to execute the BRs. And provide the Launch access to the group.

  • Group Security Issue with Business Rules

    Hopefully you experts out there can follow this. We have about 200 users in our Planning application split into 3 categories (Admins, Interactive Users and Planners) via groups setup in Shared services. We also have an email group list setup in Outlook that has all 200 users in it that we use to send out emails to all users regarding the application. So in Shared Services we have the email group list as an assigned group in the Planners group. So as new people are added to the group list in email they are automatically included as a user in the Planning application. People that are Admins or Interactive Users are manually added to those groups in Shared Services. Everything seemed to be working fine until we tried blocking the Planners groups from running certain business rules in the application. We have clusters setup in Essbase to control access to the business rules. I went into the cluster and set the Planners group to cannot validate or launch on certain rules but found that I now could not run the business rules either even though I am an Admin and the Admin group has vaildate and launch privledges in the cluster. I believe the issue has to do with the fact that I am by default in the Planners group because I am in the email group list which is assigned to the Planners group in Shared Services. Other than setting up and managing 3 seperate email group lists and assigning them individually in Shared Services, does anyone know how I can manage business rules security using the 3 groups i have setup? I hope this makes sense. If not I can provide more detail. Thanks.

    Have you tried using Business Rules projects? Create a project for the admin Shared Services group and assign all rules to that group. Create a Planning project for planners and assign only rules that you want them to run. Any rule that planners should not have access to would be removed from the Planner business rules project, but still in the admin project for you to run.

  • Business Rules Unavailable

    I am unable to gain access to the CAPEX module predefined business rules. I've updated shared services allowing the selected user user rights to planning and business rules. However, they still do not show up in workspace.
    For instance: I'm using Form 2: New asset requests. The documentation is as follows:
    ➤ To request asset purchases:
    1 Open the data form 02. New Asset Requests (see “Logging On and Accessing Capital Expense Planning”
    on page 16).
    2 Right-click an asset class, and select Add New asset.
    If no assets exist, this message displays: “There are no valid rows of data for this data form.”
    a. Right-click the message.
    b. From the menu, select Add New Asset.
    3 Enter details, such as asset class, description, number of requests (to plan for multiple asset requests of
    the same value), Asset CAR#, priority, justification,
    However, when I right click the message, "Add New Asset" doesn't appear. I have also noticed that the business rules are not populated under the form list on the left hand side of the workspace window. How can I gain access to these business rules?

    Hi,
    Depending on the version, check whether the business rules are actually created. A set of business rules must be available either in Calc Manager or in Administration Services console, Business Rules section. Unlikely but if they are not there, something must have gone wrong during capex enablement.
    The other likely possibility is the security issue obviously. Depending on the version check business rules security either from planning (Tools->Business Rules Security) or from EAS console (security tab in the business rule if I remember correctly).

    Hi,
    In AAS, under HBR node, right click Administration and refresh user list.
    You could also try to refresh the security from shared services.

  • Access privileges lost in business rules

    Hello everyone,
    I noticed that my security for business rules have disappeared. Only my native admin account is able to see the groups that have access to BR through the EAS console. When I logon with my account or the main hyperion admin account (MSAD) I don't see the groups. I ran the sync utility and stopped and restarted the services but with no success.
    Last Friday I copied over a production planning app into our dev environment and it seems that screwed up the business rules security.
    Console version is 9.3.1.3
    Does anyone have an idea on what is going on?

    I think it will be more of an issue when you migrated the business rules 2 weeks ago, did you check the security after you migrated them, it can get lost on a migration.
    Cheers

  • Business rule provision not reflecting in planning

    Hi,
    We are using Calc manager + classic planning app(11.1.2.1).Following are the steps I have performed.
    1. Assigned 'basic' role for business rules to a group in shared services.
    2. In planning-->admin --> business rule security, i assigned launch access for this group to a folder containing several business rules.
    3. When i open up planning, I am unable to see the business rules associated with the forms. so it doesnt run on save.
    Btw, I refreshed security as well. Am i missing something.??
    Regards,

    But we are using calculation manager. I created a new id and assigned all the groups that an existing user has. When i login with the new id, I can see the business rules, but the existing users cannot see them.
    Please help..

  • Business rules from epma to planning

    Hi,
    In EPMA version 11.1.12 I am having an issue with business rules. I wrote and deployed a business rule from EPMA to planning and everything was fine, the rule ran on save in the data form.
    Now, I tried to run the rule a few days later and it won't run. I tried to remove and re-add the rule, but now its not visible. In planning, I can't see 'business rule security' in the administration drop down.
    I deployed the application and all the rules and everything is successful, but still nothing in planning. In another application the rules are there.
    How could a business rule disappear from planning and not show up again when it was deployed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
    Dq

    We sometimes see similar issues when the services are recycled in the wrong order. Perhaps a service failed or was restarted (after you had been successful in running the business rule from Planning)?
