BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

What is account management?

Account management can be thought of as all of the tasks related to creating, mapping, changing, and organizing user and group information. The Users and Groups management areas of the Central Management Console (CMC) provide you with a central place to perform all of these tasks.

In the Users area, you can specify everything required for a user to access BusinessObjects Enterprise. To create user accounts, specify the following:

In the Groups area, you can create groups that give a number of people access to the report or folder. This enables you to make changes in one place instead of modifying each user account individually. To create groups, specify the following:

After the user accounts and groups have been created, you can add report objects and specify rights to them. When the users log on, they can view the reports using InfoView or their custom web application. For more information on objects and rights, see "Controlling users' access to objects" on page 312.
