  • Attending a training on MicroStrategy Desktop: Reporting Essentials or possess equivalent knowledge

The MicroStrategy Administration Configuration and Security Training course prepares BI professionals for the role of MicroStrategy administrator, including how to configure a MicroStrategy environment and set up its security layers.

The first day introduces Participants to the tasks that a MicroStrategy administrator usually performs. They learn about the BI architecture, connectivity setup, and administration interface, management of users and groups, and definition of authentication methods for their projects.

During the second day, they learn about administrative tasks and settings available in MicroStrategy Web, the different layers of security in the MicroStrategy environment, and history list management, caching, and cubes.

On the third day, they learn about internationalization, the benefits of clustering, MicroStrategy Health Center, schedules and subscription management, and Distribution Services. They also learn ways to tune and optimize their MicroStrategy environments. The goal of Administration Configuration and Security course is to prepare BI professionals for the role of MicroStrategy administrators.
