BusinessObjects: Setting Access Levels and Rights

1 Instructions
User security is configured per object as part of the object's property. Objects automatically
inherit security settings from its parent folder. As such, if a user's or group's access level
is configured on a folder, all containing subfolders and objects would inherit the same
configuration. In addition, users also inherit rights from groups that they belong to. The user
security of an object may be set in the CMC as follows:
1.

Locate the target object in the CMC. For a folder or report object, select "Folders" from
the Organize section of the home page or in the top left drop-down menu.

2.

Right click the target object and click "User Security" in the menu.
