Use Cases¶
End-to-end stories that combine the MetaMiner Client (MMC), the MetaMiner Administrator (MMA) and the Web Console to get a common BusinessObjects job done. Each story states the goal, who does it, what you need first, the steps with links to the reference pages, and the result to expect.

-
Review who can access what, find risky grants, and trace who changed rights.
