How to Set Up Data Partitions Security for Reporting

Access to CA Business Intelligence reporting is restricted through CA SDM Data Partitions Security. All CA SDM security, including data partition and tenancy restrictions, is automatically applied to reports.

Data partition security for your specific reporting environment is not applied during the configuration phase. You set up your reporting environment so it works with existing data partitions in CA SDM.

Use the following tools to accomplish this task:

• BusinessObjects Central Management Console (CMC)—Lets you administer BusinessObjects Enterprise user authentication and permissions.
• BusinessObjects Designer—Lets you modify the universe for CA SDM, Knowledge Management, CMDB, and Support Automation, which is a metalayer between CA SDM schema, and reporting tools.
• CA SDM Security and Role Management—Lets you set up data partitions security to determine what data users can access.
