4 Security Mappings

The security attributes help an organization to classify their users based on jurisdictions, business domains, or report types to restrict access to the reports that they can manage. You can authorize users to access various components of the OFS CRR CS by mapping users to user groups.

NOTE:  Users must be mapped to CRRADMIN GROUP to perform this activity.

 

Security attributes are mapped to user groups using the Security Mappings page. Attributes mapped to user groups are mapped against each user in that User Group after running the Security batch.

The following are the attributes of the security mappings:

·        User Groups

·        Jurisdictions

·        Business Domains

·        Report Types

Using Security Mapping

The mapping of security attributes (business domain, jurisdiction, and report type) to a user (through a User Group) is done through the Security Mappings.

To define the security mappings, follow these steps:

1.     In the Navigation List, select Application Security Administration and click Security Mapping. The Security Mappings page is displayed.

Description for Security Mappings window.

2.     Select the user group of the users from the Select User Group drop-down list to map with the security attributes.

3.     Map one or more jurisdictions to the selected user group. For mapping jurisdictions to the user group, select the required jurisdiction (AMEA, APAC, and so on) and click Forward Arrow to move the selected jurisdiction from the Available Jurisdictions list to the Selected Jurisdictions list. This assigns the privilege to the selected user group to access the reports that belong to the mapped jurisdiction. Click Backward Arrow to reverse the action.

4.     Map one or more business domains to the selected user group. For mapping business domains to the user group, select the required business domains, and click Forward Arrow to move the selected business domains from the Available Business Domains list to the Selected Business Domains list. This assigns the privilege to the selected user group to access the reports that belong to the mapped business domains. Click Backward Arrow to reverse the action.

5.     Map one or more report types to the selected user group. For mapping report type to the user group, select the required report types, and click Forward Arrow to move the selected report types from the Available Report Types list to the Selected Report Types list. This assigns the privilege to the selected user group to access the reports that are mapped to these report types. Click Backward Arrow to reverse the action.

6.     Click Save  Save icon . All the changes are saved in the FCC_SECURITY_MAPPER table and the respective FCC_RR_SECURITY_MAPPER view tables.

Click Reset Reset icon to discard the information you have entered; this action resets the information to its original state.

NOTE:  Saved changes cannot be reset using this option. This is applicable only when you want to edit and reset data.
