BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Assigning an alias

When you assign an alias to a user, you move a third-party alias from another user to the user you are currently viewing. You cannot assign or reassign Enterprise aliases.

Note:    If a user has only one alias and you assign that last alias to another user, the system will delete the user account, and the Favorites folder, personal categories, and inbox for that account.

To assign an alias from another user

1. Go to the Users management area of the CMC.
2. Click the link for the user you want to assign an alias to.
3. Click Assign Alias.

The Assign Alias page appears.

4. Select the alias you want in the list of available aliases.
5. Click the > arrow.

Tip:    

• To select multiple aliases, use the SHIFT+click or CTRL+click combination.
• To search for a specific alias, use the Look For field.
6. Click OK.
