Specifying Permissions for Advanced Reporting


Operating Systems: All.

This task is part of the Process of Manually Configuring Siebel Analytics and Actuate iServer for Advanced Reporting.

Before administrators and end users can work with Advanced Reports, they need to have the appropriate permissions granted.

Administrators need privileges in both Siebel Analytics and in Actuate. For more information on Actuate permissions, read Actuate's Managing iServer Guide.

Users may need one or more of the following file system read and write permissions:

  • For access to the Advanced Reports screen, end users must be able to schedule reports, which execute based on the schedule that the users define.
  • For report execution, reports are executed in real time on the Actuate server.
  • For report viewing, users are able to view cached content.

Table 37 lists the Siebel Analytics privileges that relate to Advanced Reports.
