Access Management

Birst provides four main types of application security and user access features:

  • User Groups – ability to create multiple groups with varying rights and privileges. Users are then assigned to these groups.
  • Report/Dashboard Security – ability to lock down who has access to which reports and dashboards via group access controls.
  • Data-Level Security via data Security Filters – ability to restrict access to specific sets of data rows in the application based on a highly flexible and robust model for securing attribute and measure data.
  • Subject Area Access via Custom Subject Areas – ability to craft customized views of attribute columns and measures. This feature is particularly useful to make the application more accessible to business users as well as restricting access to certain data elements.
