Grant Access to Data Sources Using the Security Region

When you set up data sources, you can also define security for the data source by selecting which user roles can access the data source.

You must grant access to users for the following:

• A report consumer must have access to the data source to view reports that retrieve data from the data source.

• A report designer must have access to the data source to create or edit a data model against the data source.

By default, a role with administrator privileges can access all data sources.

The configuration page for the data source includes a Security region that lists all the available roles. You can grant roles access from this page, or you can also assign the data sources to roles from the roles and permissions page.
