Data-Level Security in Analytics

Data-level security controls the content that appears in the end-user objects, such as dashboard reports and figures. When two different users run the same report, they see different data, depending on their access.

There are three types of data-level security:

• Primary position-based

  Equivalent to the Siebel operational application My Teams view. This type of security implies that the user sees all data where the user's position is the primary position on that record, or when the user is the manager of a position who is primary on the record.

• Primary organization-based

  The Siebel operational application view equivalent is My Organization's Records. In this case the user sees all data where the user's organization owns the record or an organization that reports to the user's organization owns the record.

• Primary owner-based

  This gives a subset of the Siebel operational application view equivalent of My Records. In this case the user sees data where the user is the primary owner of the record (for example, Activities). The Siebel operational application equivalent view also includes records where the user is on the team for that record.
