Security and Authorization

The default security configuration for BusinessObjects Enterprise is performed through the CA Business Intelligence configuration. The configuration determines the security policies of folders, universes, universe connections and tools. It also provides methods for adding users and mapping them to groups, and setting some preference options.

Specifically, the CA Business Intelligence reporting configuration involves:

• Setting up security
• Deploying reports
• Deploying universes
• Configuring Web Intelligence settings

At the completion of installation, the universe connection is assigned to various groups and users in CA SDM.

The administrator can log on to the BusinessObjects CMC and modify the default settings at any time. Users are authorized access to InfoView folders based on the CA Business Intelligence group to which they belong.
