Overview

Follow the instructions below to create and submit a new Consolidated Business Intelligence (CBI) security group in the Business Intelligence Manager (BIM) site.

Access security group management tools in the BIM

The pane on the right will be populated with search criteria for the BIM security groups. In the right pane, click Create Security Group.

Create a security group

Refer to the following information as you fill out the form in the "Create" dialog:

Security group type

Report publishers will need to create two types of security groups in the BIM:

• CBI Consumer Tester: This security group type controls who can access reports in the test environment for a particular business unit.
• CBI Consumer Production: This security group type controls who can access reports in the production environment for a particular business unit.

Select the appropriate type of group from the Security Group Type drop-down menu, depending on the environment in which you'll deploy your report.

Data security group type

If this security group will be used to secure data from the IU Data Warehouse (DSS1PRD) or Enterprise Analysis Services cubes, select Enterprise from the Data Security Group Type drop-down menu. Alternatively, if this group will be used to secure data from other sources (for example, a departmental database), select Departmental.

Security group technical name

In the "Security Group Technical Name" text box, enter a technical name for your new security group. The technical name is made up of a series of words or abbreviations separated by underscores, such as IN_ADM.

Security group name

In the "Security Group Name" text box, enter a brief, descriptive, user-friendly name for your new security group. The group name is made up of whole words that describe the function of the group, such as "IUPUI Upper Administration".

Campus

If you selected Enterprise from the Data Security Group Type drop-down menu, you'll need to select a campus code from the Campus drop-down menu. Systemwide (SY) is often the correct campus code for enterprise data.

Subject area

If you selected Enterprise from the Data Security Group Type drop-down menu, you'll need to select a subject area from the Subject Area drop-down menu. This field will not appear until after you've selected a campus. If you don't see a subject area you expect in the list, and you selected something other than Systemwide (SY) for the campus, try switching the campus value to Systemwide (SY).

Add members to your security group

To add members to your new security group:

1. In the text box above the Add Users button, enter each user's IU username. To add multiple users, separate their usernames with a comma.
2. Click Add Users.
3. At the bottom of the dialog box, click Submit. You may need to scroll down to see this button.
   Note:

   No users are actually added to the security group until you click Submit.

Description

In the "Description" text box, enter a lengthier description of your new security group's purpose.

Group owner

The name of the individual creating the security group will appear as "Group Owner". To add the group owner to the new security group, check the box to the right of the group owner's name.

Owner delegate

In the "Owner Delegate" text box, enter the username of someone in your unit who has publishing rights in your Tableau project. To add that user to the security group, check the box to the right of the user's name.

Notes or justification

In the "Notes or Justification" text box, you can enter information about why the group was created or modified (for example, the users added or deleted, the reason for the change, etc.).

Submit the security group

The submit button is labeled differently depending on the data you entered above:

• If you selected Enterprise from the Data Security Group Type drop-down menu, click Submit for Approval to submit your security group. A workflow is initiated for data manager routing, and the group will be locked until the request is approved or disapproved. Once a data manager has dealt with your request, the editing lock will be removed, and you can use your new security group when publishing a report.
• If you selected Departmental from the Data Security Group Type drop-down menu, click Submit to submit your security group. The group is immediately available for use.
