To verify the initial user setup

1. Access the Central Management Console and verify the following (see Accessing-users-and-groups-in-the-Central-Management-Console):

   2. (Required only for versions 8.9.02 and later) Verify that the sysadmin user is created in BusinessObjects BI and it is part of the Administrators group.
   3. Ensure that each user has a unique ID in the BMC Decision Support – Database Automation database.
   4. (Required only for versions 8.9.00 and 8.9.01)  Verify that the group in BusinessObjects BI has the correct permissions to access reports based on the group permissions, including the following permissions (see User-roles for group and user permission details):
      • Permission to access the BusinessObjects BI universe
      • Permission to access the BusinessObjects BI connection
      • Correct permissions on BusinessObjects BI folder and sub-folder objects
2. Instruct users to access the BusinessObjects Business Intelligence launch pad and verify that they can access the reports (see Accessing-the-interface).
