How to manage privileges

Users have different function privileges and license privileges depending on the roles that are assigned to them in ARIS Administration. Access and function privileges control privileges at the database level, which you assign in ARIS Architect.

Use the following function privileges to control the users' authorizations.

Analysis tab

You can analyze dependencies between analysis objects and KPIs. All analysis objects contained in the database are displayed. The rule set defines this structure for the transfer of analysis objects. The graphic is used to display the structure of analysis objects.

You can evaluate KPIs using tables created with templates and relate the analysis objects, dimensions and KPIs to each other.

You can enter base KPI values. Fields with a blue background indicate calculated values. Fields with a white background are editable. Fields with a gray background are not editable and indicate KPIs that are not defined for the analysis object displayed in the dimension displayed (for example, because the rule set has now changed or because an analysis object no longer exists).

You have the following options: 

  • Rename analysis groups

  • Select an analysis object and display its KPIs in the KPIs area

  • Obtain information on the composition of a KPI

  • Navigate through the structure of the analysis objects in the Graphic area

  • Create tables from templates

  • Deactivate analysis objects

  • Delete analysis groups

  • Open saved tables

  • Run what-if analyses

  • Edit values

  • Obtain information on the composition of a KPI

  • Create tables from templates

  • Open saved tables

  • Run what-if analyses

Data management tab

You can manage data.

You have the following options: 

  • Merge existing dimension combinations and/or analysis objects.

  • Delete existing dimension combinations

  • Deactivate dimension combinations

  • Activate saving points

  • Deactivate saving points

KPIs tab

  • You can enter base KPI values. Fields with a blue background indicate calculated values. Fields with a white background are editable. Fields with a gray background are not editable and indicate KPIs that are not defined for the analysis object displayed in the dimension displayed (for example, because the rule set has now changed or because an analysis object no longer exists).

Administration tab

You can import configuration files, and manage dimension types, dimensions, input screens, rule sets, table templates, users, and user groups.

Access privileges at the database level

With the access privileges you can control which content is accessible to specific users or user groups. Based on their access privileges, users can see, comment, create/edit, delete, or version models and objects. You assign access privileges to users, user groups, or database groups on the properties pages.

Function privileges at the database level

You can assign function privileges to provide users and user groups with specific functionality and thus control their authorizations across a database. In ARIS Administration, administrators manage users, user groups, cross-database and cross-product privileges and licenses for all ARIS products.
