Displaying Data Access Permissions As Icons

When working with regular reports, dashboards, express reports or data entry forms it is possible to display icons for cells, for which the user has no permissions or for cells of calculated elements.

NOTE. In data entry forms setting up displaying of data access permissions as icons is executed during table area setup.

Setting up access to data sources depends on the selected access control method and is executed in the security manager. If the user can only read and/or is denied changing a data source, the user can see data in reports but cannot edit it.

Setting access permissions to data of:

Time series databases is executed in the Data Access Permissions dialog box. To open the dialog box:

Click the Data Access Permissions button on the Discretionary Access Control tab of the Access Control Settings dialog box in the security manager.
Select the Access Permissions item in the object's context menu in the object navigator.

MDM dictionary is determined by the selected access control method. Depending on the selected method, there are different setup methods.
Cube is determined on creating authorization objects.

If the user can only read and/or is denied changing data, the user can only see data in reports but cannot edit it. If the user is denied reading and changing data, cells will be empty.

To enable displaying lock icons, select the Select Read-Only Cells checkbox on the Formatting tab on the Table side panel group:

NOTE. When working in regular reports the function can be enabled only in the desktop application.
