The Security Analyzer allows an administrator to understand what access a user or group has to a particular folder or object in the BI Platform. In situations where you want to understand why one user has access but not another user, you can do a compare between two users or groups to see what are the specific differences in the explicit and inherited rights / advanced rights.
Using the Security Analyzer
- Click on Landscape Tools → Security Analyzer
- Click Start Analyzer and logon to the desired CMS system
- Browse to and click on the object or folder in which you'd like to analyze
- Click on Groups (to analyze group security) or Users (to analyze user security) and the Name list will be populated.
- Select the desired user/group from the drop down list
- To compare rights with another user/group, check the Compare box and select another user/group from the drop down list
- The rights of the first user/group will have a white background, the rights of the second user/group will a blue background. NOTE: This will only show the difference between the two users/groups.
- To save the analysis results to Excel format, click Export Table.
