Manage user capabilities in Planning Analytics Administration (Cloud only)

Administrators can now manage capabilities for individual users in Planning Analytics Administration.

For Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.98, the most significant capability that can be managed is Drive explorer. This capability must be enabled for a user to access the S:/ drive through the Planning Analytics Workspace modeling workbench.

Initially, only a subscription administrators can manage capabilities and only in a primary environment. However, a subscription administrator can assign the ability to manage capabilities to other administrators in either a primary environment or in a non-primary environment. See the Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.98 documentation for full details on managing capabilities.

To manage capabilities for a user:

  1. Open Planning Analytics Administration as a subscription administrator.
  2. Click the Users and groups tile.
  3. Click the Users tab.
  4. Select the user for whom you want to manage capabilities.
  5. Click the Capabilities tab.
    Capabilities tab

    The tab shows the capabilities that can be managed. In Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.98, there are two capabilities that an administrator can manage.

    Capabilities access
    Enable to grant an administrator the ability to manage capabilities for users. If this capability is not enabled for an administrator user, the administrator cannot see the Capabilities tab and cannot manage capabilities.
    Drive explorer
    Enable to give the user access to the Drive explorer on the modeling workbench. The Drive explorer provides access to all folders and files in the Planning Analytics environment.
  6. Click the toggle to enable or disable a capability for the user.
