Additional Security Configurations MicroStrategy Mobile Suite

You can control access to your MicroStrategy project in three ways:

•Privileges control what functionality in the MicroStrategy system the

user has access to. For example, a user who does not have the Use Metric

Editor privilege cannot create or edit metrics. Privileges are assigned to

the user’s account by right-clicking the user and selecting Edit.

• Security filters control what data the user has access to. For example, a

user who has a security filter that restricts him to only the California

Central Region element of the Region attribute cannot view any data for

any other state. Security filters are assigned to the user’s account by

right-clicking the user in MicroStrategy Desktop and selecting Edit.

• Permissions control what objects in the MicroStrategy system the user

has access to. For example, a user who has the Write permission for a

metric can make changes to the metric’s definition, while a user who only

has the Execute permission can run reports containing the metric but

cannot change that metric.

Each MicroStrategy object has an access control list (ACL), which

specifies the permissions that each MicroStrategy user has for that object.

Permissions are assigned to the objects in MicroStrategy by right-clicking

the object, selecting Properties, and then selecting Security.

MicroStrategy Mobile Suite users can be organized into user groups for

convenient administration. User groups can be granted privileges, security

filters, and permissions in the same way as individual users. A user can be a

member of multiple groups, and inherit the security settings from each

group.

For complete details related to user and object security, see the Setting Up

User Security chapter in the MicroStrategy System Administration Guide.
