We started the chapter understanding the importance of Security in a Budgeting Application like Hyperion Planning. We assumed a requirement of a fictional company called Sargod Consulting Ltd and created another Planning Application named 'SRGD'.
We even considered a few owners of different geographic locations, where 'Sargod Consulting Ltd' operates and identified users. These users were created in Shared Services.
We then moved on to provision the users to the Planning Application 'SRGD' and also learned about different roles in the Hyperion Planning application, which can be provisioned to a user. We have also understood the process of assigning Dimension members within the Hyperion Planning application. Conclusively, we have also learned an alternate way of using the 'ImportSecurity' utility to assign security access to users. To demonstrate the same, we have assigned security for five users at once using SecFile.txt
.
In next chapter, we'll start looking at the management process...
