Adding security to BI workspaces

BI workspaces saved in public folders share vital information across a large community or with specific groups of people. These BI workspaces can be used for information-sharing. With public BI workspaces, you can set additional security options that cannot be shared with a group of people for business confidentiality.
You set security rules for BI workspaces in the BI platform Central Management Console (CMC). You can set security in two ways:
  1. In the BI platform CMC, expand the list of BI workspaces in the Folders area, and select a BI workspace.
  2. Right-click the BI workspace and select User Security.
    The "User Security" window appears.
  3. Click Add Principals.
    The "Add Principals" window page appears, showing the available users and groups.
  4. Select a user in the Available users/groups list, and click the > arrow to move the user to the Selected users/groups list.
  5. Click Add and Assign Security.
    The "Assign Security" window appears, showing the available access levels.
  6. Select access rights in the Available Access Levels area, and click the > arrow to add it to the Assigned Access Levels list:
