BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Specifying event rights

You can grant or deny users and groups access to events. Depending how you organize your events, you may have specific events that you want to be available only for certain employees or departments. For example, you may want certain events to be triggered only by management or IT.

Users will only be able to see events they have the rights to see, so you can use rights to hide events that aren't applicable to a particular group. For example, by granting only the ITadmin group access to IT-related events, those events won't appear for a user from the HRadmin group; this makes the event list easier for the HRadmin group to navigate.

Follow this procedure to change the rights for an event. By default, events are based on current security settings, inheriting rights from the users' parent folders.

To grant access to an event

1. Go to the Events management area of the CMC.
2. Select the event you want to grant access to.
3. Click Rights.
4. Click Add/Remove to add users or groups that you want to give access to the event.

The Add/Remove page appears.

5. In the Select Operation list, select Add/Remove Groups, Add Users, or Remove Users.
6. Select the user or group you want to grant access to the specified event.
7. If you have many users on your system, select the Add Users operation; then use the "Look For" field to search for a particular account.
8. Click OK.
9. Change the Access Level for each user or group, as required.

Tip:    To choose specific rights, select Advanced in the Access Level column, and click Advanced in the Net Access column.
