Change the access level for a group or user by selecting a right from the appropriate list in the Access Level column; then click Update. If you select Advanced from the list, you grant or deny granular rights from the Advanced Rights page. For more information, see "Setting advanced object rights" on page 322. Viewing object rights settings Use the CMC to view the object rights that a user or group has to any folder, report, or other BusinessObjects Enterprise object. This section shows how to locate the rights for any object and briefly explains the information displayed on the Rights tab. Go to the Folders management area in the CMC to browse your folder hierarchy for an object, or go to the Objects management area in the CMC to view a list of all the objects on the system. Click the link that corresponds to the folder or other object whose rights you want to see, then click the object's Rights tab. A page similar to the following appears: This example shows the rights for the Report Samples folder. The Name column lists all users and groups who have been given rights to the object. In this case, users have not been specified individually; instead, users have been divided into two groups--Everyone and Administrators--which have been granted rights to the folder object. The Access Level column shows how each user's or group's rights are determined. You can change the rights for either group by selecting a predefined access level (or by selecting Advanced) from the list in the Access Level column. When you change an entry in the Access Level column, click Update to effect your changes. For more information, see "Setting common access levels" on page 320. The Net Access column displays the net effect of whatever is selected in the Access Level column. That is, the Net Access column shows the effective rights that each user or group has to the object. The Net Access column is BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide 319 13 Controlling User Access Controlling users' access to objects particularly useful when you are working with inheritance. In this example, the Everyone group inherits rights from a parent folder--one that is not displayed on this screen. The Net Access column shows that the rights inherited from the parent folder are equivalent to the Schedule access level. Tip: If you want to view the individual object rights that make up a user's (or group's) Net Access, click the corresponding Access Level list and select Advanced.
