Security

WebFOCUS Open Portal Services supports internal and external security for delivering real-time business intelligence reports to authorized users within the PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal environment. Administrators can structure and assign reports to individuals based upon the department they work in and can assign even greater levels of security by granting access to reports based upon users’ roles in the organization. Departmental security allows users to see reports only 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 role within the organization – for example the CEO or vice president who needs to access information across various departments throughout the enterprise.
