Managing Groups
SAP BO Administration - Managing Groups
When you need to assign same permissions to set of users, groups can be created, and users can be added to provide similar permissions. With group management, you can change the permissions of whole group instead of making changes to inspanidual users. Using groups, you can provide access to repository objects instead of managing single user permissions.
There are few default Group accounts in SAP BO environment, as explained below −
| Administrators | Members of this group can perform all task in all of the BI platform apppcations(CMC, CCM, Pubpshing Wizard, and BI launch pad). By default, the Administrators group contains only the Administrator user. |
| Everyone | Each user is a member of the Everyone group. |
| QaaWS Group designer | Members of this group have access to Query as a Web Service |
| Report Conversion Tool Users | Members of this group have access to the Report Conversion Tool apppcation. |
| Translators | Members of this group have access to the Translation Manager apppcation. |
| Universe Designer Users | User who belong to this group are granted access to the Universe Designer folder and the Connections folder. They can control who has access rights to the Designer apppcation. You must add users to this group as needed. By default, no user belongs to this group. |
