Manage User Groups
Groups are used to grant permissions to users for specific actions in Business Analytics. If you are using the default Business Analytics User Repository, Business Analytics administrators add and manage user groups in the Admin Console. If you have configured Business Analytics to use your LDAP Directory as the User Repository, you define and manage user groups in your LDAP Directory.
User groups contain of a set of users. Groups also have one or more permissions assigned.
Built-in Business Analytics groups have a set of permissions predefined that allow users to work in the
Business Analytics Hub and the
AppDepot with
one exception: the permission to run mashable information sources, mashups and apps is assigned by
user-defined groups. See
Built-In
Business Analytics
User Groups and Permissions for details.
Note: | Business Analytics administrators and artifact owners automatically have permission to run all artifacts or the artifacts they own repsectively. |
User-defined groups are groups that administrators add to
Business Analytics. These groups are used to grant run permissions to group members for the specific artifacts that the group has been added to.
Business Analytics administrators can also automatically grant run permissions to groups to run all apps, all mashups, all mashables or any combination. See
Automatically Grant Run Permissions to Users and Groups for information.
