Installation › Add Report Users Manually

Add Report Users Manually

You define users in CA EEM and CA SOI integrates with that product to obtain its users. When you configure reporting, an option is selected by default to synchronize user creation in CA SOI and BusinessObjects. You manually define users in BusinessObjects in the following situations:

• If this option is cleared.
• If you create CA SOI users before configuring reporting and you want to add the users to BusinessObjects.

When creating report users, consider the following restrictions:

• Do not use the CA SOI administrator user ("samuser" by default) to run reports.
• Do not use the BusinessObjects administrator user (Administrator by default) to run reports.
• If you configure the automatic addition of CA SOI users for reports, do not create a user in CA SOI with the same name as the BusinessObjects administrator user ("Administrator" by default). This conflict can cause problems with the BusinessObjects administrator user.

Note: The reports that users can run depend on the security settings in CA SOI. User groups indicate the privileges that are assigned to each user. For more information about security, see the Administration Guide.
