BPC Security in a Nutshell

Security is broken down to 4 aspects:

1. Users
   
   1. Basic component of security. User, Email, IM, etc.
   
   
2. Teams
   
   1. Basic grouping of users
   2. You can assign Task and Member Access Profiles to Teams


3. Task Profiles
   
   1. Application related security
   2. User/Team Activities and roles specified here
   3. There is a finite number of Tasks configured in BPC. See Task Profile Descriptions in the BPC Administration Help


4. Member Access Profiles
   
   1. Dimension and member related security
   2. Example, you can specify which periods are ready to receive forecasts
