Message from SharePoint on starting PPS Service •To access data sources using shared credentials instead of

per-user identity, configure the PerformancePoint Unattended Service Account and/or create Target Applications in the Secure Store using SharePoint Central Administration.

•The PerformancePoint web application and site collection features must be enabled in order to use the PerformancePoint capabilities.

•Trusted locations should be configured through manage service applications to prevent use of any site collection or sites, with PPS features enabled, that could allow for unauthorized access to data sources.
