Changes to the reports access management
You can use one of the following options to grant access to reporting users for viewing or managing reports in TrueSight Smart Reporting - Platform:
TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse determines the option to be used based on the value specified for the YF_DEFAULT_ROLE property in the generic_configuration.properties file. This file is available at the following path on the host where TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse is installed:
- (Windows)
<tssadw_installation_directory>\shared\ConfigurationManagement\generic_configuration.properties
- (Linux)
<tssadw_installation_directory>/shared/ConfigurationManagement/generic_configuration.properties
If a value is specified for the YF_DEFAULT_ROLE property (for example, YF_DEFAULT_ROLE=allow_smart_reports_management), access is granted according to the user and role mappings defined in the user_roles.csv file. If the YF_DEFAULT_ROLE property is empty (for example, YF_DEFAULT_ROLE=), access is granted based on the roles and authorizations defined in TrueSight Server Automation.
Recommendation for granting access
We recommend that you start managing the reports access by granting reporting authorizations to roles in TrueSight Server Automation. The use of user_roles.csv file for managing the access is deprecated. The following scenario explains how to make this change:
Upgrade notes
We recommend upgrading both TrueSight Server Automation and TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse to 21.02. If you upgrade one of these products only, do note the following changes:
If you upgrade only TrueSight Server Automation to 21.02
- Access to reports based on the authorizations defined in TrueSight Server Automation will not work. The existing user_roles.csv based authorizations will continue to work.
- New reporting authorizations that are added to TrueSight Server Automation will not be available.
If you upgrade only TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse to 21.02
- If the YF_ROLES_DEFAULT property has some assigned value, the existing user_roles.csv option will continue to work. You can start managing the reports access using the roles and authorizations defined in TrueSight Server Automation.
- New reporting authorizations added to TrueSight Server Automation 21.02 will not be available.
