Hello!
I am implementing BO Enterprise XI and I am finding trouble when managing the user and groups rights.
I have tried to follow the instructions on the official BO manual, but somehow it looks like I am missing something
So, for example, I have added all the users that will be accessing the system. On the other hand, I have created two groups: standard and managers, and distributed the users in either one or the oter group.
First problem: when the user logs on Infoview, and click on Document List, this is what I want it to happen:
- Administrator (basically me): can see all the folders (including the ones that are created by default on BO, I mean the ones with report samples, etc).
- Managers: cannot see the folders that were on the system by default (report samples, etc) but they can see the following folders: “management” and “operations”.
- Standard users: cannot see the folders that were on the system by default (report samples, etc) nor the folders “management” and “operations”, but they can see the folders “recurring reports” and “daily workload”.
After testing different solutions (granting rights to ones or the others, assigning the security to the folder, etc), this is the result:
- Unless I say that one user or group belongs to “Administrator” (which I don´t want, because only I should have those rights), the public folders are not shown to the user.
So: - If I want the user to see a folder, then I need to include that user as an Administrator.
- If I don´t do that, then the user has no visibility of any folder.
How do I need to manage this in order to get what I am looking for?
I know it is a very basic problem, but I´d really appreciate if you could give me some guidelines here because it is obvious that I don´t understand how the permissions work.
Thanks a lot for your help!
