BIAnalytix Tip Summary: Data Based Security

Data in a Media BI Analysis system is set up to be easily accessible by multiple and powerful presentation tools. Security over the data that each user can access is almost always necessary in a BI system generally released within a media corporation. Modern Media BI Analysis systems can have these security restrictions defined upon the data itself and thus applied regardless of the presentation and access technology. Security over a portal page or site is rarely sufficient to prevent other powerful tools from retrieving data independent of the portal.

The users need to be authenticated securely as part of the request for data from the cube. Users should be assigned to multiple security groups to simplify security management. The defined security groups are then assigned to the dimension members and measures to establish the security structure. The Media BI Analysis system reports will then only show to each user of the report the data values allowed in both the body and the filter lists. This results in one report on the portal being presented appropriately but with different data for every portal user based upon the security groups of which they are a member.

BIAnalytix is an advanced Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence system that supports defining security on the data cubes so that the BIAnalytix example reports can be used by all staff while only showing the appropriate secured subset of information.
