Defining the access via static objects

This window enables defining which of all existing database object types and objects an administrator is to be able to access and in which way. Be aware, that to access an individual object the administrator must be assigned at least read access to the respective top node. For example, the administrator must be have at least view access to the Reports top node, to access a specific report.

By default this tab will always contain one entry, the respective administrator himself. When an administrator is created he will automatically be added here to provide him with the possibility to check his access rights. The default access defined at creation time is Read Access access allowed, any other access denied.

Warning

Note

 When adding objects to the security profile, be careful to always include the complete hierarchy to the target object including the object’s top node, otherwise the administrators might still not be able to access the object.

To add a database object, proceed as follows:

  1. Click Add Object properties.png.
    The Select Static Objects dialog box appears on the screen.

  2. In the drop-down box Object Type select the type of the database object to add.
