Course Title:
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Administering Users and Content with the CMC

Duration: 2 days

Course Overview
This course explains how to perform the tasks in the Central Management Console (CMC).
These tasks involve supporting BusinessObjects Enterprise users and groups so they can access corporate data through BusinessObjects Enterprise’s web portal. This corporate data can take the form of Crystal Reports, Web Intelligence or Desktop Intelligence documents, OLAP Intelligence reports, program objects, object packages, and popular 3rd party objects such as Microsoft Word and Excel files, among others. Please note, this course does not discuss maintaining BusinessObjects Enterprise servers, which is taught in the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R1/R2: Administering Servers – Windows course.
The business benefit of this course is that it provides a foundation for System Architects/Administrators to effectively manage both users and content on the BusinessObjects Enterprise platform.
