Siebel Analytics Web Administration Guide > Analytics Web Security >

Setting Permissions Through the Catalog

You can change permissions to catalog items through the Web Catalog. For general information about the Web Catalog, see Administering the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog.

To set permissions

Open the catalog manager (see About Analytics Catalog Manager).

Navigate to an item.

To review permissions for the item, right-click the item in the Name list and select Permissions.

The Explicit Permissions list on the left side of the window shows the users and groups that have explicit permissions granted to this item. The Effective Permissions list on the right side of the window shows the users and groups that have access granted though group inheritance, and users and groups that have no access to the report.

Table 6. Permissions and Their Definitions
Permission	What It Means
R	Read permission.
W	Write permission
X	Traverse Folder permission. You can view the folders within this folder.
D	Delete permission.
P	Change Permission authority. You can alter the permissions on the item.
O	Owner permission, also known as Full Control. This includes the permissions in this table and means that you have full control over the item. This is the level of authority granted by default to the preconfigured Administrator user ID.

If you need to move a user or group into the Explicit Permissions list, select the name in the Effective Permissions list and click the left arrow button ( < ).

NOTE: To change a permission for user or group, it must be in the Explicit Permissions list. To view groups only, select the option Show groups only.

Select a user or group in the Explicit Permissions list.

Select the new permission from the drop-down list below the Explicit Permissions list.

Click OK to accept the changes.

Close the Permissions window.

NOTE: If you move a user or group from the Explicit Permissions list to the Effective Permissions list, the user or group privileges are reset to No Access. To move users or groups from one window to another, highlight them and click the right or left arrow button as appropriate.
