Planning Steps
User Accounts for Delegated Administrators
Shared Services Administrators create Delegated Administrators from existing user accounts in
the user directories configured on Shared Services. Unlike in the provisioning process, delegated
administration capabilities cannot be assigned to groups. Before starting the process of
delegating Shared Services administration, verify that Delegated Administrators are created as
users in a configured user directory.
Create a Delegation Plan
The delegation plan should identify the levels of Delegated Administrators needed to effectively
administer Hyperion products. The plan should identify:
● Users and groups that each Delegated Administrator should manage. This list can be used
while creating Delegated Lists. See “Creating Delegated Lists” on page 73.
● Shared Services and Hyperion product roles that each Delegated Administrator should be
granted.
Provisioning Delegated Administrators
Shared Services Administrators provision Delegated Administrators to grant them roles based
on the delegation plan.
Delegated Administrators must be granted Shared Services roles depending on the activities they
should perform. See “Shared Services Roles” on page 135 for a list of Shared Services roles.
Delegated Administrators can be granted roles from Hyperion products; for example,
Provisioning Manager from Planning, to allow them to perform administrative tasks in
Hyperion products.
Creating Delegated Lists
Delegated lists identify the users and groups that a Delegated Administrator can manage. Each
list is assigned to one or more Delegated Administrators. Delegated Administrators can:
● View only the users and groups assigned to them through delegated lists. All other users and
groups remain hidden from their view.
● Create delegated lists for other users they manage.
● Search and retrieve only the users and groups that are included in their delegated lists.
