Assigning Access Rights

Administrators can set access rights to various report categories, reports, and report options (such as view, publish, and edit) based on user roles and Logger Report Group affiliation. For example, you can grant privileges to view some reports but not others, to view but not schedule or publish a report, or to view and schedule but not edit a report.

Access rights for report options and user groups are configured and managed from the User Management link on the System Admin menu. For more information on System Admin User/Group management, see Setting Logger User Permissions.

What Access Rights are Necessary?

Access rights are applied at the folder level. To access a particular report, a user must have access rights to all the higher-level folders in its path.

For example, if a user needs access to User Tracking reports (Foundation > Intrusion Monitoring > User Tracking), you must give them access rights to Foundation and Intrusion Monitoring nodes as well as User Tracking.

Some users may require access to a more limited subset of reports:

If a user needs access to specific report categories, create a User Group with the access rights to just those categories, and assign them to that User Group. See Creating a Reports User Group.
If a user needs access to specific reports, you can create a new category folder with only the required reports, and give them rights to that folder. See Report Categories.
