Note: This step is not applicable for Infor Government Solutions (IGS) customers. Proxy access is disabled in the IGS environment.
  1. Open Infor OS Portal’s navigation menu.
  2. In the Applications, select Birst.
  3. Add a proxy user.
    1. Select Admin > User Management.
    2. Specify your name in the search text field.
    3. Click your name to view details.
    4. Copy your user GUID.
      For example, TENANTID_df0e1b03-8c4d-4f1e-848f-d5740a45a8bf.
    5. Select Admin > Space Management > Command Window.
    6. Add proxy for service user and specify these commands:

      addproxyuser <your user GUID> <TenantID>_SERVICE_USER yyyy-mm-dd

      For example, addproxyuser TENANTID_df0e1b03-8c4d-4f1e-848f-d5740a45a8bf TENANTID_SERVICE_USER 2023-05-01.

      Where:

      • <your user GUID> - replace this with the specific GUID for your user obtained from setp 3.d
      • <TenantID>_SERVICE_USER - replace <TenantID> with the specific tenant ID. The service user name should follow the format <TenantID>_SERVICE_USER.
      • yyyy-mm-dd - the expiration date for the proxy user. We recommend that you specify a date that is one month from the current date.
    7. Click Execute.

      A confirmation is displayed that indicates that the proxy was added. For example, TENANTID_df0e1b03-8c4d-4f1e-848f-d5740a45a8bf, TENANTID_SERVICE_USER, 2023-05-01.
