Security is a very important aspect of any software product. A BI security schema is what allows a reporting solution to function at the enterprise level. With proper security, powerful business intelligence software like Style Intelligence or web reporting software like Style Report can be made available to every person in the company. Each division can have its own data sources, and each person within the division can have his or her own access rights to the data and reports.
Problem: There is a security schema used in a current application, and the same security should be used for reporting.
The InetSoft Solution:
Since InetSoft's software is usually embedded within a website, or another application, a single sign-on (SSO) capability eases the end user experience. InetSoft's software integrates with existing LDAP security models (iPlanet/SunOne, Active Directory, or Open LDAP). Simply enter the server settings, and InetSoft's software will import the users, and roles. These users/roles can then be used when setting the permissions for InetSoft's software components.
Problem: Many different users who have different roles and rights access an enterprise reporting solution. The security system must allow for these complicated bureaucratic structures.
Security can be applied at each level of the report process. This allows for precise control of information, while preserving the reusability of reports.
On the report level, access to folders and reports can be changed based on users and roles. The permissions include reading, and writing separately. For example, some users can have access to run a report, but will be unable to overwrite it, if they have made changes.
