IBM Software Group | Tivoli software
The roles implemented allow to authorize users to view and use
nodes and pages of the portfolio of the TWDC application.
The reporting feature are accessed with the following roles:
Users defined with this role can see the
“Reporting” menu of the portfolio and work
with all report task types
Users defined with this role can see and
work with all report “Tasks”
The roles above need to be mapped with the groups defined in the
user registry.

Security Authorization
Engine Authorization:
The security model is aligned with the current TWS security model.
It is possible to define high level security permissions to limit reports
management to a set of users.
It is possible to set security permissions per report type. For example, a
user may be able to run some reports but may not be able to run others.
Database Authorization:
The database user needs to be granted to access the database
Combining all security aspects the administrator can assign and control the
access to the features of the application.
