Configuring dashboard access control

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

You must have access rights in WebSphere Portal to perform this task. A dashboard must have been created previously.
To configure access control to a dashboard, complete the following steps:
  1. From the Portal banner, click Administration > Access > Resource Permissions.
  2. On the Resource Types list, click Pages.
  3. Navigate to the resource you want to configure access to.
  4. Click Assign Access for the dashboard you want to configure.
  5. Configure access to the dashboard 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 role you want to edit.
    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. Type the search parameter in the Search field, and then click Search.
    5. From the search results list, select one or more users to be added to the current role, and then click OK.
    The access control for the selected users is saved. You can navigate to other resources you want to configure access to.
Access of the selected users to the dashboard is configured, based on their assigned roles.
