Dashboards and reports security

Access to data in an analytical application must be secured or customized based on user role. Birst provides four main types of application security and user access features:

Space groups

Enables creation of multiple groups with varying rights and privileges. Users are then assigned to these groups.

Report/Dashboard security

Provides the ability to lock down who has access to which reports and dashboards through group access controls.

Data-level security through data security filters

Provides the 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 through Custom Subject Areas

Provides the ability to craft customized views of attribute columns and measures. This feature is particularly useful in making the application more accessible to business users, as well as restricting access to certain data elements.
