Create users in a Planning Analytics Local database

You can now create users in a Planning Analytics Local database using the Users and groups editor.

To open the Users and groups editor on a modeling workbench, right-click a database in the Databases tree, and then click Manage users and groups.

The Users and groups editor toolbar now includes the Create new user icon.

Click this icon to access the Create new user dialog box where you type the user name and password. The new user name appears the end of the list of existing users.

The user is added to the Planning Analytics database (TM1 server) only, not to the IBM® Planning Analytics Workspace. If you want to use the user for authentication, the user must also exist in the IBM Planning Analytics Workspace.

A related new feature in this release is the ability to modify the user's password. To do that, right-click the user name, and select the Change password option from the menu.
