Controlling access to universe connections

You can use rights to grant people access to universe connections, allowing them to create and view Web Intelligence documents that use universes and universe connections. You can either set the rights to all universes by using the Rights button on the Universe Connections page, or you can set the rights to individual universe connections.

To view or set the access levels for all universe connections

1. Go to the Universe Connections management area of the CMC.
2. Click the Rights button.
3. In the Name column, locate the user or group whose rights you want to specify.

If the user or group is not listed, click Add/Remove. Add the appropriate user or group and click OK. You are returned to the object's Rights tab.

4. The next step depends upon the entry that already appears in the Access Level list for this user or group:
• If the Access Level is not already set to Advanced, click the list and select Advanced.
• If the Access Level is already set to Advanced, click the Advanced link in the Net Access column.
