and privilegesUse the Define Warehouse User notebook to define a warehouse user to the Data Warehouse Center. A warehouse user must be defined to the Data Warehouse Center in order to access warehouse sources, warehouse targets, steps, and processes.
The Data Warehouse Center controls access with a standard log on window. When a warehouse user logs on, the user ID is compared to a warehouse user definition to determine whether the warehouse user is authorized to access the Data Warehouse Center. You can add a warehouse user to one or more warehouse groups from the Warehouse User notebook or the Warehouse Group notebook.
To define a warehouse user:
In the Name field, type the name of the warehouse user (for example, John Smith). The name can be up to 80 characters including spaces.
Optional: Type the name of the administrator for this warehouse user in the Administrator field.
Optional: Enter a short description of the warehouse user in the Description field.
Optional: Include any additional information about the warehouse user in the Notes field.
Optional: If you want the warehouse user to be able to log on to the Data Warehouse Center, type a user ID in the User ID field. The user ID must be no longer than 60 characters and cannot contain spaces, dashes, or special characters (such as @, #, $, %, >, +, =).
Type a default password for the warehouse user in the Password field, and enter that password again into the Verify Password field. Passwords must be a minimum of six characters and can not contain spaces, dashes, or special characters.
Optional: If you want the warehouse user to receive e-mail notification when a step completes, type the e-mail address of the warehouse user in the E-mail address field. The Data Warehouse Center will automatically notify the warehouse user of changes to the warehouse.
Optional: To make a warehouse user inactive, clear the Active User check box. The warehouse user will no longer be able to log on to the Data Warehouse Center or receive e-mail notification.
On the Warehouse Groups page, select warehouse groups from the Available warehouse groups list to which you want the warehouse user to belong and click >. The warehouse groups that you selected are moved to the Selected warehouse groups list.
If you want to include all of the items in the Available warehouse groups list, click >>. The Available warehouse groups list contains all of the warehouse groups defined in the Data Warehouse Center.
Click OK to save your changes and close the notebook.
