User Security in Template • User Security is set up in the Advanced section of the Template • User Security defines what, if anything, Users are restricted to view in reports • User Security is defined by User Security (compulsory); Secondary User Security (optional); and Group Security (optional).
User Security in Template • The User Security settings determine the default Analyze By/Restricted Analyze By fields in the report • The Default Analyze By1 field gives the default field of the Analyze By list when a user has been granted full access • Default Analyze By 2-10 correspond to the default vlaues of the subsequent “Then By” lists • Once a user has restricted access, the Analyze By and Then By fields are controlled by the Restricted Analyze By 1 and Restricted Analyze By 2-10 fields respectively

Security in Reports Summary • The Security features in IR provide multiple benefits for Company security where access to sensitive information needs to be restricted • User Security/Secondary User Security/Group Security restrict the information available to an individual user when generating reports e.g. Sales Rep reports can be limited to a view of only their own sales data • With IR reports can be shared safely and securely with users without any additional work. • A sales report for the company can be generated, saved as a favourite and shared with other users. • If user security is restricted to Sales Rep for example, users accessing the favourite will only see their related sales information.
