Managing Reports › Security and Authorization › Groups and Users

Groups and Users

The Groups listed in the following table will be added to the Central Management Server (CMS) during the CA Business Intelligence configuration. They relate to CA SDM roles with the same names. During the configuration phase, an optional check box was available to indicate whether sample users are added to the CMS. If it was selected, your default CMS configuration includes one sample user for each group. In the CMC, you can use these sample users as models when you establish user permissions and authentication options for your reporting environment.

CA SDM Data Partitions in Infoview

Consider the following information about the relationships between CA SDM data partitions and InfoView:

• The analyst connects to CA Business Intelligence through the Reports tab in CA SDM or in InfoView with the access type of a default reporting role.
• The CA SDM login credentials must match the InfoView credentials. The administrator sets an authentication method such as secLDAP or secEnterprise. CA SDM logs in to CA Business Intelligence, which then logs in to CA SDM through the ODBC.
• The CA Business Intelligence analyst login associates with the CA SDM login. CA Business Intelligence uses this CA SDM login and the reporting role associated with the access type of the login. If the analyst does not have an associated CA SDM login, CA Business Intelligence uses the system default. The system default is defined in the ODBC parameters in the Universe Designer and the reporting role of the access type.
• To restrict a user from viewing a report, the administrator can disable access to the report or the folder that contains it.
