Configuring view access control

The dashboard administrator can control users' access to and interaction with views on dashboards using the security features in WebSphere® Portal.

You must have access rights in WebSphere Portal to perform this task. A view must have been created previously.
To configure access control to a view, complete the following steps:
  1. From the Portal banner, click Administration > Access > Resource Permissions.
  2. On the Resource Types list, click Portlets.
  3. Find the supported WebSphere Business Monitor views by browsing through the list of portlets.
  4. From search results, click Assign Access for the view you want to configure.
  5. Configure access to the view by editing members of one or more roles. To do that, complete the following steps for each role:
    1. To add or delete one or more users, click Edit Role for the appropriate role (for example, Privileged User or User).
    2. Click Add.
    3. From the Search for Users or User Groups list, select an item.
    4. From the Search by list, select a search type (for example, uid, or sn).
    5. In the Search field, type the search parameter, and then click Search.
    6. From the search results list, select one or more users to be added to the current role, or clear users from selected users to remove them. Click OK.
Access of the selected users to the view is configured, based on their assigned roles.
