Introduction

The report authorization module (security matrix) allows you to define which user groups can access certain reports through the menu. A user that has no access to a specific Menu item will not see that report in the menu or in a Storyboard.

The security matrix can be accessed through the Security and Navigation ribbon in the CXO Design Studio.

Security Matrix

The security matrix shows the different user groups in the columns and the menu items on the rows. Take the following steps to configure the report authorization.

1. The 'Report Authorization' toggle button in the Security and Navigation ribbon can be used to show and hide the security matrix.
2. A small black check mark means that the menu item for that specific user group is accessible.
3. No check mark means no access for the specific user group for that menu item.
4. A big gray check mark means that not all menu items of a Menu Group are accessible for the user group.
5. A big black check mark means that all menu items of a menu group are accessible for the user group.

Check marks can be set by clicking on an empty cell. When you click on a cell of a menu group you will get a menu that allows you to check all menu items of that specific menu group.
