Add users to or remove users from an administrative role
In Planning Business Modeler, you can modify the membership of the Data Administrator, Modeler, and User Administrator roles that have a model site scope. You must belong to the User Administrator role to modify administrative role membership in Planning Business Modeler.
Note
To manage the membership of an administrative role at the application level, use the Planning Administration Console.
Before you modify administrative role membership, read the following information:
Before a user can be added to a role, he or she must be added to the Planning Server system from the Planning Administration Console.
Planning Business Modeler supports the separation of administrative responsibilities in the Security and Roles workspace. If your organization is not structured in this manner, you can add users to more than one administrative role. Users who belong to multiple administrative roles can perform all tasks that each role allows.
Members of the Data Administrator and Modeler roles can create an unlimited number of objects in the Planning Server system. You should advise members of these roles that Planning Server performance can be affected by the number of objects they create in Planning Business Modeler and by the number of users assigned to those objects.
To perform data integration tasks on a staging database, a member of the Data Administrator role must also have explicit permissions for the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database. However, for security reasons, members of the Data Administrator role should not have full database permissions unless that is necessary.
