Re-provisioning impact

The user management and security setup must be addressed if Infor Lawson Analytics is re-provisioned.

In the case of an update, the spaces are not deleted, and the security setup remains.

In the event of a re-provisioning, the spaces are deleted and re-created, thus erasing the existing security setup in Infor Birst. That includes space groups membership.

Here are the steps you must take to re-establish the security setup.

User management

As seen earlier in this guide, security roles are assigned to users in Infor Ming.le or Infor OS Portal and sync to Infor Birst using BODs. During re-provisioning, Infor Ming.le or Infor OS Portal is not affected, but replacing the spaces clears the user security setup in Infor Birst.

To recreate the previous user security setup, new BODs must be sent from Infor Ming.le or Infor OS Portal to Infor Birst. This is done by clicking the disk icon in the user's details tab in the user management menu, which triggers a new BOD. Currently, this process must be done for each user.

The same concept applies to custom user-defined security roles.
