Performance Scorecard Security OverviewSecurity in Performance Scorecard is based on user privileges. User privileges are based on system roles, domain associations, and assigned access rights and can be assigned to a user or user group.
Groups are sets of users, based on similar access rights needs, who have been granted access to the application. After defining users and groups, you can assign access rights to application elements. For example, you can assign a user or a group access to a specific scorecard based on criteria.

Performance Scorecard Security Overview
In Performance Scorecard, you can perform the following security-relatedtasks:
Determine user privileges.
Assign access rights to application elements.

Levels of Security User authentication: Users must provide a valid ID and password to log on to the
system.
Task security: Users can perform only the tasks to which they have been given access. For example, you can grant designer users with the sole right to create domains.
Object security: Users can access only objects and web pages to which they have been granted access. For example, you can restrict basic users from creating performance measures (Measure List).

User AuthenticationUser login information for Hyperion applications is stored outside the applications in an authentication directory. The information is maintained by a central authentication directory.
An authentication directory is a centralized store of users and passwords, user groups, and perhaps corporate information, such as employee ID or job tile. The following types of authentication directories are supported:
Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) on NT 4.0 or later, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) version 3 or later
Microsoft Active Directory (MSAD) server, and Windows 2000 SP3 or later
You can grant access to your Performance Scorecard applications to any user or group in an authentication directory. When you grant a group access to an application, the users in the group are also granted access to the application.
Copyright 2008, Oracle. All rights reserved.1 - 5
User Authentication
Users must provide a valid user ID and password to access an application. Performance Scorecard leverages
authentication providers such as LDAP and NTLM. Users and groups must exist in
the authentication directory.

User Authentication OptionsThere are two ways of authenticating Performance Scorecard users:
Stand-Alone mode:
- Uses the default basic JDBC, user account-based authentication, or an external authentication repository such as LDAP, MSAD, NTLM or Netegrity Siteminder to configure Performance Scorecard to authenticate users.
- Is configured directly from the Administration menu in Performance Scorecard.
Shared Services mode:
- Is configured from the Hyperion Configuration Utility. In this case, Hyperion Shared Services must be running before you log on Performance Scorecard, to ensure that authentication is enabled.

Task SecurityTask security determines the tasks in an application that a user can access. You assign task security by assigning a role to a user. Each role is associated with a set of tasks. For example, designer users cannot manage user accounts, so that option is not available on the Administration menu.

Authorizing Users in Performance ScorecardYou can set up security directly in Performance Scorecard or in Hyperion Shared Services.
To authorize users in Performance Scorecard:
1. Optional: Create domains to represent distinct business and functional areas such as regional offices and departments such as Accounting. This enables complex organizations with large applications to streamline and manage data in logical groups.
2. Create user security roles to establish specialized measure, scorecard, initiative, and Web page access permissions. This determines the tasks that users can perform using the data they can access.

Creating Domains (Optional)If your organization contains distinct functional or regional business areas such as national and regional offices or departments, you can define domains that reflect these areas.
You can define a domain to incorporate any combination of business objects that are required, such as maps, measures, employees, initiatives and scorecards. For example, you can create domains based on geographical divisions or functional areas, such as Human Resources or Sales.
You could create a separate domain to represent the responsibilities and tasks for a special project or task force. For example, if your organization has its corporate headquarters in Australia, but head offices in the United Kingdom, the United States, and South America, create domains for each office.

You can apply the appropriate domain to the user accounts of application designers to grant them access to only the business objects relating to their domain. As a result, employees creating and maintaining applications for the office in London cannot access data specific to the office in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The domain is created by the administrator, usually with input from other resources, such as the application designer or member of a management team. After the administrator has established the domain, the application designer can save the associated business objects to the domain.
To create domains:
1. Log on to Performance Scorecard as an administrator.
2. In the Object View pane, expand the Security and Domain List nodes.
The Domain List is displayed, listing any domains that have been created.
3. Click Add.
4. In the Name text box, enter a unique name to identify the scope of the new domain, such as a country, region, office, business unit, project or department.
5. In the Description text box, enter a description of the domain, and what it represents.
6. In the Parent Domain drop-down list, select the name of the parent for the new domain.
7. Click Save.

If you are creating a top-level domain, select [No Parent]; otherwise, select the domain that contains the new domain.

Domain PermissionsIf you use domains, you must assign user permissions to each domain. When access is assigned, the user has access to all business objects associated with the domain, and each business object created by that user is automatically added to the domain.
Explicit access permission enables you to specifically assign Modify access to the model elements that belong to one or more assigned domains. This option is useful when you want to restrict permission to the domain to a limited number of users. Access is assigned on an individual basis.
The domains are created in a hierarchy, and access levels roll up from children to the top level. A domain can have either No Parent (at the top of the hierarchy) or one parent. The parent domain must exist before the child domain can be created. To take advantage of a bulk domain assignment, the user must have write access to both the objects and the domain that are being created.

Creating EmployeesA user is any person who uses Performance Scorecard. An employee is any person in an application that is responsible for, or linked to business objects such as strategy elements, measures, and targets. Employees are created by application designers.
For authorization purposes, each Performance Scorecard user must have a user account associated with an employee record. The employee linked to the user account determines which measures, scorecards, initiatives, and reports that the person can access.
For example, Jennifer Burns has a user account with which another employee, Vincent Abagato, is associated. If Vincent Abagato owns a measure, is associated with particular accountability elements, and is linked to a specific domain, Jennifer Burns can use her account to access the measure, accountability element, and all domain-specific business objects.

3-14 Performance Scorecard: Design Applications
Because employees can use multiple scorecards to monitor the performance of objects such as measures, managers should evaluate employee performance by creating a primary scorecard for the employee.
Employees can also create secondary scorecards to assess and monitor the performance of the measures, strategy elements, and accountability elements with which they work.
Employees can specify who can access their secondary scorecards using the Miscellaneous tab on the Scorecard Setup page.
To create employees:
1. Log on to Performance Scorecard as a designer.
2. From the Object View pane, select Employee List.
The Employee List content pane is displayed.
3. Click Add.
The General tab of the Employee Setup (General tab) is displayed.

5. Optional: Enter employee number, job title, department, and manager .
6. Optional: Choose Select in Domain to associate an employee with a distinct physical or functional area.
7. Optional: Click Browse in Picture to attach a picture of the employee.
8. Optional: Click Select Dimensions to associate an employee with dimension members, such as strategy elements.
9. Enter contact information including e-mail address, and phone numbers.
10. Perform any of the following tasks:
To monitor employee performance using a primary scorecard, select Scorecard.
To assign the employee to the measures, accountability, and strategy elements with which they work, select Responsibilities.

Security RolesBy default, access is restricted to all measures and scorecards in an application. You assign access to measures and scorecards by specifying permissions for the security role applied to a users account.
Security roles limit the tasks that users are authorized to perform in an application.
You set access to Yes or No for each user role.
You can assign roles by user and group.
If you provision a group, you do not need to provision individual users in the group.

Provided Security RolesAlthough you can create your own, the following security roles are provided. If you authenticate users using Shared Services, see the equivalent role:
Authorization Priority RulesAccess permissions must be assigned to a security role to control access to scorecards, and measures. Access is enabled depending on whether the permission conditions are successfully met. Depending on the result, access for the specified scorecard or measure is enabled or disabled.
A numerical value is applied to each access level, such as 6 Deny All. The results for all permissions are evaluated, and the final result is assigned the appropriate authorization level.
The following authorization priority rules apply:
Grant one: highest priority
Deny one: high-middle priority
Grant group
Deny group
Grant all: middle-low priority
Deny all: lowest priority
For example, if you define a security role with the following restrictions and permissions, users with the security role can access all scorecards in an application because grant all has a higher priority than deny all.
