Best practices for using Enterprise Manager

Make all users who need access to the Enterprise Manager reports members of the MicroStrategy Web Viewer user group. Users in this group have all the necessary permissions and privileges to use the out-of-the-box Enterprise Manager reports, which show problem areas and help you tune the system.
Assign users to groups with the appropriate Enterprise Manager-related privileges.
