SECURITY MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS

Here are some ideas for a better management of securities.

 

Profiles selections view: see immediatly the active selection of the profile/account (if any), placed in an added column near the profile name. Every time I have to check the selection applied I have to open the select panel by each line I want to check.
As alternative, if this is too complicated, a free text column near each db profile or account ... where I can write a free note.

 

Security/Folder Profiles: have a possibility to copy and paste the settings of a profile.

 

Folder profiles: have a more comfortable view to add the folders in a profile, with the full list of folders and a flag "Hide/View" and a quick flag "Show all"

 

Users accounts: have the possibility to set an "activation" and "expiration" date of the account.

 

Security/DB/Folder profiles: have the possibility to export a file with all the details, as the "export user list" available in the users panel.
This would very helpful; I've built a database where I import the user list and join it with the cpsx log, then here I manage manually all the profiles references (link profile > folder & db, notes about selections,folder profiles settings vs folders etc...) in order to track accesses and actual use. Having such information updated automatically would be very nice.

Thank you for sharing your idea, Daniele. We appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting your suggestion.

Great news, this feature is available from the latest releases. Attached a snippet below from the manual.

• Cube visibility - This feature, released in Board 2022 summer release, provides enhanced visibility into the customers' data by allowing them to view and analyze the relevant functional combinations on the reports. This enables them to make more informed decisions and gain deeper insights into their business operations. Learn more about the Cube visibility feature
• "Select Entity based on Cube" feature for Database security profiles and Roles - This 2023 summer release feature allows for a more granular and flexible approach to security management, where access permissions can be based on individual data Cubes rather than be applied on the entire Data model. This provides greater control over data access and ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to authorised personnel
