Supervisor’s Guide: Using Supervisor over the Web 15
What is Supervisor over the Web?
What is Supervisor over the Web?
Supervisor over the Web allows you to manage users and groups via a web
browser. You create a Business Objects repository using Supervisor. Then you
use either Supervisor or Supervisor over the Web to define users and user
groups, assign profiles to users, and edit their properties in the security domain.
Supervisor over the Web runs on 3-tier architecture in a JSP environment. It
requires an application server and a Business Objects server with a connection
to the relational database that hosts the repository. Supervisor over the Web
relies on the Administration Server module that keeps a cache of the security
domain.
NOTE
More than one supervisor working on the same repository resources at the same
time from different desks can interfere with one another’s work without this being
immediately noticeable. Coordinate your work with other Business Objects
supervisors so that you do not work on the same resources at the same time.
What can you do with Supervisor over the Web?
Supervisor over the Web offers the following abilities:
• managing groups
You can create, move, delete, and rename groups
• managing users
You can create, rename, and delete users, assign and remove them from
groups, change passwords, and edit user properties
• managing many users at the same time
You can edit user properties, add users, remove, and delete multiple users in
groups.
All changes performed in the Supervisor over the Web are immediately taken into
account in the repository and in the Administration Server cache.
