Troubleshooting the ImportSecurity Utility for Hyperion Planning (Doc ID 1103373.1)
Cause: users in Shared Services, Planning, and Essbase are not in sync.
Solution
1. In Shared Services confirm that the users and groups are provisioned for the Planning application with suitable non-administrative roles. Administrators cannot be assigned access permissions using ImportSecurity (as they always have access to everything) and attempting to import security for an administrative user will fail.
2. Log into Planning as an administrator. Navigate to Administration > Manage Database, select the "Security Filters" option, and click "Refresh". This populates the planning repository with the new users. Also, if a user logs in, entry goes to repository automatically. PLEASE NOTE: Users/groups have to exist in the planning repository BEFORE you run the utility.
As well as creating the security filters in Essbase, the refresh will synchronise users between Shared Services, Planning, and Essbase. All users will also be automatically assigned the "Server Access" Essbase role in Shared Services (at the user level) if they do not already have it.
3. Optional. In most cases the two steps above should be sufficient to ensure all users and groups are in sync. However, if problems persist you may also need to synchronise users and groups directly between Shared Services and Essbase. Note that the ability to perform a manual refresh in this way is no longer available in more recent versions (Essbase 9.3.1.5+).
1. Log into the EAS Console
2. Expand "Essbase Servers" > your Essbase server
3. Right-click on "Security" and click "Refresh Security from Shared Services"
4. Select "All Users", click OK, and confirm
5. Select "Yes" in the next dialog box when asked "After refreshing security from Shared Services, Essbase server will be disconnected and you will have to reconnect. Do you want to continue?"
6. If the refresh succeeds you should receive the message: "Refreshing security to Shared Services was successful."
After synchronising users, run the ImportSecurity utility again.
