Connection security impact on the functionality

When connections are secured, the following areas in Infor Risk & Compliance are impacted:

• Access to the Connections page

  When connections are secured, only users with the following roles can access secured connections:

  • Administrator: The Administrator is the default owner of all connections and can access all connections.
  • Connection Owner: A connection owner can create a connection and assign other connection owners or connection users.
• Editing or deleting connections
  • Administrators can edit and delete all connections.
  • Connection Owners can delete and edit only owned connections.
  • Connection Users cannot delete nor modify connections.
• Scheduling extraction

  Connection Owners and Connection Users for a connection can schedule extraction from the connections accessible to them.

• Assigning rule books to connections

  You can associate one or more connections accessible to you to a rule book. If all connections are selected while scheduling an analysis, data from the connections associated with the selected rule books only participate in the analysis. If any of these connections are not accessible to you, data from that connection is not included in the analysis.

• Creating and testing rules

  While building rule conditions, you can view values only for those connections that are accessible to you. You can also test your rules on the connections accessible to you.

• Analysis

  You can perform analysis on the data that is extracted from the connections accessible to you. If you select all connections while scheduling the analysis, data from the connections accessible to you is included in the analysis. Data from all other connections does not participate in the analysis.

• What-if analysis

  You can perform What-If analyses only on the connections accessible to you.

  If a connection is secured after you create a What-if analysis for that connection and you do not have access to it now, you can view the results of the analysis on the What-if home page only. These results cannot be viewed in analysis reports.

• Requests

  You can create requests only for the connections accessible to you. Even if an approval template with 'All' connections is selected, the request will be created only for the connection accessible to the requestor.

• Reports

  Connection security impacts report filters on the report filters page in the following ways:

  • The Connections list: Displays only those connections accessible to you. Administrators can view all connections. Even if you select all connections, the report is generated only for the connections accessible to you.
  • The Analyses list: Displays only those analyses that are accessible to you. Details of the connection are displayed in the report.
