What is typical for amount of users that create global variants

hello all,
what is everyone's experience in how many users they give authorization to create global variants?  I'm assuming if to many people the variant list can become quite big. 
just thoughts on experience would be nice.  thanks

In our case, specific power users have been identified and they are the only one's outside of the BW development team that have the capability of creating global variants. These power users typically create global variants that correspond to authorizations in BW. For example, 0PLANT is an authorization-relevant Characteristic. People associated to one plant can't see another plant, but Finance can see all plants. So, the power user would create the global variants as one for each plant. Finance people leave this wide open (if not mandatory).
We have ~5K report users and there are <30 power users if that helps with a percentage.

    If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
    What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
    Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

  • Unable to create global variant for BEx query

    Good Day BI Experts.
    I would like to be able to provide some of my power users with the ability to create global variants to BEx queries executed using Analyzer.  When they try to save a global variant now, they receive the message "You are not authorized to create variant name".  Is there a generic role that can be assigned to the user for this?  Or perhaps a PFCG setting to an existing role?  I'm rather new at this, so details would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Casey

    Hi.
    Your users need to have create and change access for auth object S_RS_PARAM to create variants.
    You can enforce a naming convention by maintaining the values of "tech name of variant" like Z*, according to your needs.
    Regards
    Jacob
    P.S:
    If you have a general role for report users, add the auth object to that one in PFCG if it's not already there. In the latter case, you might have to change the values, to let your users maitain things...

  • How to identify the user who created the variant

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me how to identify the user who created the variant ?

    Hi Dear,
    For the same go to SE11 and view the table "VARID". This table give the details of the program,user,variant etc.
    From this table u can know which user created the variant. Hope this solve your purpose.

    Hi,
    AIM for a PC or the app Trillian will do it (With an AIM name).
    Trillian used to sell 3 versions until recently.  The oldest, ver 3.2, now seems to have disappeared from their site. It was on "Sale" at $15
    They also seem to have renumbered the various releases as Version 3.2 used to be the same for Mac and PCs
    The previous layout also implied the Mac version was the same as the Windows 4.2 version And the Beta option for version 5 has also disappeared.
    Also if you have a Google mail Account and they do as well you cna both turn On the Talk option at Google and make use of GoogleTalk in a web Broswer.
    iChat can make use of the GoogleTalk ID (It's your email in fact) and you can Video Chat to other iChat Users that Google or Jabber IDs (GoogleTalk is a Jabber server).
    It will not however Video chat to the Standalone PC app of the same name or to anyone using the Chat feature in the Google Mail Web page (Different Protocols)
    You can use other web sites to do Browser to Browser Video chats
    See the options 9 through 11 (12 is now defunct) and MeBeam is now called Koowy.
    These options need Flash to be enabled in your Browsers (both ends) and it will give you a Pop up to Click Allow for access to the Camera (Which you may also need to chose in one of the tabs)

  • View RSOP data for logged on user that is not administrator

    When troubleshooting group policies I use GPResult and RSOP.msc a LOT!  Since we started deploying Windows 7 I've been having the worst time trying to use these utilities.
    Normally when a user is not getting policies I can just run rsop.msc and see if there is any error information as well as which policies have and have not applied.  In Windows 7 I am prompted for an Admin password when I run rsop.  Well that would
    be fine but now RSOP attempts to gather data for the administrator; I need to see the data for the logged on user.  The only way I've been able to work around this so far is to add the user to the local admin group then I can run rsop and gpresult.  When
    I'm done I have to remove them from the admin group.
    This seems silly to me.  Can anyone tell me how to see RSOP and GPResult data as the USER instead of the Admin.
    Also please do not chime in telling me to run rsop in planning mode as that only tells me what is supposed to happen, not what is actually happening on the system.

    Hi,
    Base on my test and research, there’s impossible to use RSOP.msc with user, and run as administrator when you login with user still doesn’t work.
    That’s necessary to login with administrator and run rsop.msc. It’s a by design feature.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • What audio interfaces for iPad are there that give stereo outputs?

         I've had persons tell me that an iPad is not good to use as you would a computer in DJing because it can't do split stereo outputs. I was thinking that perhaps an audio interface that connects through the dock might fix that. Can anyone give me a list of such interfaces?

    DJ Arctic wrote:
    From what I understand, most headphone splitters (like the Griffin DJ Cable) split the stereo track into two mono tracksone for pre-cueing, one for what the audience hears.
    Note that the Griffin DJ Cable does not fall into the same category as "most headphone splitters". It is made specifically with a stereo/mono output for the algoriddim djay app.
    This is one of the mono output cables you would need to specifically hunt down.
    DJ Arctic wrote:
    If you know of a headphone splitter that doesn't do that, but gives two stereo channels, I'd be glad to take a look at it.
    All of these are single stereo to double stereo outputs -> Headphone splitters
    Ask for a headphone splitter in just about any store (Walmart, Best Buy, Target, 7-11) and you'll get what you want.

  • Executing a powershell script for checking duplicate users while creating a AD user throug ADUC console.

    Hi,

    that the user is already present in the text file.
    Is there any possibility of contacting the powershell script from the ADUC console.If so, then while creating a new user through ADUC console, what is the proceedure for executing that powershell script.
    please provide me the approriate solutions.

    Run the below Powershell Script for users are exist or not in AD. Later you can create the users.
    #Find Users exist in AD or Not?
    #Biswajit Biswas
    $users = get-content c:\users.txt
    foreach ($user in $users) {

  • How can I find the user that created a user account and the user who last updated the account

    How can I find out who created a user account and who last updated the account. I think that this is the same information that is displayed in the description field on the General tab.
    I am using ADO commands and vbscript
    ug3j

    I should point out that there are two attributes of all AD objects that can help you track down the correct information in the system logs. These are the whenCreated and whenChanged attributes. This will tell when the object was created and when it was last
    modified, which should help when you search the logs. Also, while whenCreated is replicated to all DC's, so they will all have the exact same creation time, the whenChanged attribute is technically not replicated. The date/time on each DC reflects when
    the last modification was replicated to that DC. The values will differ slightly on each DC, reflecting how long it took for the change to replicate.

  • Service/Database Accounts - NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER & NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT - what are they for?

    Hi Guys,
    I’ve done a fair amount of research for this question but just cannot seem to find the answer to my question in simple, non-DBA, terms.
    Server 2008 R2
    SQL 2008 R2
    There are 2 users in the system database logins (NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER, NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT) … what are they for? It appears that they
    are accounts to run the corresponding Windows services but yet they cannot be selected from the list of available built-in accounts, local accounts or domain accounts.
    Also, I am using a couple of domain user accounts to run the services, do I need to add them to the database? I changed the service accounts from NETWORK
    SERVICE to the domain user accounts using the SQL Configuration Manger which is supposed to take care of managing the user group membership and registry changes but the domain accounts are not in the database …. The services appear to be running fine.
    Thanks

    In basic terms:
    As you say, in the SQL Server Database Engine there are two logins;
    NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER and NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. The Database Engine runs in Windows as a Windows service named
    MSSQLSERVER. The NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER login is used by the service to connect to the Database Engine. Basically, this is how it connects to itself. The SQL Server Agent runs as a Windows service named
    NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT. The NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT
    login is how the Windows process that is SQL Server Agent connects to the Database Engine to read the
    msdb database to find out what it should do; and then do it. Both of these logins are members of the
    sysadmin fixed server role, so they can do anything in the Database Engine. And they need to stay that way.
    No, they can't be selected in the list of available built-in accounts, local accounts or domain accounts. This is because they are services, not accounts. They have a security identifier (SID) in Windows,
    but Windows knows they aren't real users. Windows can authenticate them, but they don't have passwords that any human can use. If you run
    lusrmgr.msc and look at the groups, you will see groups like
    SQLServerMSSQLUser$computername$MSSQLSERVER and NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER
    is a member of the group.
    As for the account that you used to run the services, this is complicated and has changed from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008 and now again in SQL Server Code Named 'Denali'. The short answer is that
    the account you specify will be used when a process tries to reach outside of the current Windows environment. But within the computer, there is a mix of authorization granted to the domain user, the service, and the Windows group
    SQLServerMSSQLUser$computername$MSSQLSERVER.
    The good news is that SQL Server Configuration Manager figures out all the stuff you need when you change the accounts. If you are a glutton for punishment, you can get an idea for how complicated this
    is by looking at the Denali documentation where I have tried to provide more specific information. (Note this is not the same as SQL Server 2008.) You can see it at:
