	Personalizing the way users view, store, and retrieve business intelligence content for optimum job efficiency
	Deciding what content users will have appear in each content window, how that content is displayed, and how it’s organized – even combining graphics and reports on the same page
	Managing documents for users and enabling them to perform content searches
	Extending additional privileges to users, allowing them to perform all types of reporting and queries, including ad hoc, OLAP, scheduling, and mobile
	Giving users the ability to select a report, run it, and direct the output
	Letting users work in a secure, role-based, managed environment

Security

WebFOCUS Open Portal Services technology supports internal and external security for delivering real-time business intelligence to authorized users within the JBoss Portal environment. Administrators can structure and assign reports to individuals based upon their departments and can assign even greater levels of security by granting access to reports based upon job function. Departmental security allows users to see reports just for the department to which they have access, such as accounting, finance, or sales. Role-based security allows individuals to view reports based upon their particular position within the organization; for example, the CEO or vice president who needs to access information across several departments in the enterprise.
