Deployed dashboards are protected by the authorization and authentication facilities provided by Apama and your application server.

Apama's dashboard authentication facility prompts users for credentials before allowing any access to deployed dashboards. It gives you the ability to customize authentication by either configuring your application server to use the security realm and authentication service of your choice or by supplying any JAAS-supported authentication module as a plug-in to the data server or display server. See Administering authentication.

Apama's authorization facility includes access control that gives you the ability to control who can use a given dashboard. The facility also gives you the ability to control who can use dashboards to gain a given type of access to a given DataView definition, or DataView item. And it gives the ability to control who can send events from dashboards using the Send Event command. See Administering authorization.

In addition to authenticating and authorizing users, you need to consider how you will protect data sent to dashboards. This is discussed in Securing communications.
