Manage Security with business objects designer.

If you are a universe designer, you will need to specify access levels for groups and users for your universe.

To manage user and group access to your universe do as follow:

• Tools à Manage Security à Manage Access restrictions
  
• The window divided into 2 pans
  
  • The left pan displays available restrictions
    
  • The right ban display users and group.
    

Restrictions:

• Object level: you can restrict user or group from access a specific object.
  
• Row level: you can restrict user or group from access specific rows from specific table based on criteria.
  
• Table mapping: display data from another table for user or group.
  
• General restriction: connection, control, SQL
  

Example:

We want to create the following restrictions:

• Restrict user / group from accessing profit object. (object level)
  
• Restrict user / group to display VIP customer's data based on VIP flag column. (row level)
  
• Display data for retail users / groups from retail data table instead of displaying it from the corporate table. (table mapping)
  
• Limit number of rows retrieved by user query (general)
  

 

To preview user and group access to your universe do as follow:

• Tools à Manage Security àpreview net access restrictions.
  
• Select user or group that you want to preview access for.
  
• Click preview.
  

Notes:

• You can create mixed restriction that mix many types of restrictions (object, row, table mapping and general)
  
• If you apply the same restriction to more that one group then you can specify priority for them.
