About configuring IBM® Cognos® Analytics Access Manager
The Access Manager provides authentication information for users. It also provides a level of data access control by allowing the setup of User Classes and Groups.
All the users of Business Intelligence are set up in Access Manager, which provides access configuration for data sources and other Analytics servers.
Access Manager and Business Intelligence User Independence
The user and user group setup are not linked to the user and user class setup in Analytics Access Manager. Nor are they synchronized between the two products.
The users and user groups must be maintained independently of the users and user classes for Business Intelligence. This is required because each user in may not have access to the Business Intelligence component or some users of the Analytics may not have access to the other components of Sterling™ Order Management System Software . Additionally, it is necessary that users common to both Sterling Order Management System Software and Business Intelligence have the same user identifier and password setup. Otherwise that user does not have seamless access to Business Intelligence from the Application Console.
