Configuring fine-grained security

You secure access to monitor models by adding users to resource groups (as described in "Configuring data security"). After providing access at the monitor model level, you can provide a more fine-grained form of data security by granting access to users and groups at the monitor context instance level or the monitor context object level.

What are the business reasons for restricting access at a more fine-grained level? You might have a key performance indicator (KPI) that only specific users are allowed to see. You might have a monitor context that includes hundreds of instances, and your users need to retrieve only a subset of the instances. Or, you might have a metric (for example, salary data) that should be restricted to a select group of users.
