The MicroStrategy 7 security model enables you to set up user groups that can
have subgroups within them, thus creating a hierarchy. The following applies to
the creation of user subgroups:
• A child subgroup automatically inherits privileges assigned to its parent group.
• In addition to inherited privileges, a child subgroup can be assigned other
privileges.
User groups corresponding to the three MicroStrategy 7 Web Editions have been
predefined with the appropriate privilege sets. These user groups are available
under the User Group folder within the Administration folder for your project.
1RWHÃYou need project administration privileges to view and modify user-group
definitions.
Assigning user privileges
Refer to your license agreement for reference as you determine how each user is
assigned to a given privilege set. MicroStrategy 7 defines user groups in terms of
the three Web editions (Web Analyst, Web Reporter, Web Viewer), based on the
privilege set assigned to each. For instance, if you assign to a user in a Web
Reporter group a privilege available only to a Web Analyst, MicroStrategy
considers this user to be a Web Analyst user. In some cases you can, however,
assign a subset of privileges belonging to a given edition to a user who has
privileges for that edition without violating your license agreement.
