Implementing Data-Level Security in the Analytics Repository

NOTE:  Data-level security in Siebel Analytics applications is based on the position- and organization-based security model of the Siebel operational applications. See Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications.

This topic describes the configuration of data from the Siebel Data Warehouse, and refers only to the Data Warehouse tables. The setup for the Siebel transactional database data is similar, although the physical schema joins are different.

Data-level security in the Analytics repository is implemented in three major steps:

1. Set up initialization blocks that obtain specific security-related information when a user logs in.

   For example, the user's primary position ID. See Initialization Blocks and Security-Related Information in Analytics.

2. Set up the filters for each security group on each logical table that needs to be secured.

   See Filters For Analytics Security Groups.

3. Set up the joins to the appropriate security tables in the metadata physical and logical layers.
