In-Depth Information
Modifications tab
Within this tab, Essbase will record any changes or modifications made to the
database, the data, and the outline in log form. This screen is useful if you need
to check when a recent event occurred, possibly for debugging.
Types of Essbase users
Yes, you'll meet all kinds of Essbase users. There are good Essbase users, and
there are less than good Essbase users. The beauty is you get to control them.
Okay, so it's not a control issue, but at the same time you cannot have people in
your databases running willy-nilly over anything they please. For starters, Essbase
has some of the most comprehensive database access filters available. Each filter
is completely customizable for a specific database.
All access filters can be applied to either a single user
or to an access group where multiple users are added
when necessary.
If you recall, we recommended that you create yourself a
Supervisor
account at your
first login. This will be your account to administer the entire Essbase server. For data
security and data integrity reasons, it is a good idea to put a limit on the number of
supervisor access accounts and instead make use of lesser
developer type
accounts.
