Defining Station Configuration Settings

Edit online

About this task

You use station configuration settings allow you to enable and configure data-level security (DLS) for Analytic Engines.

When data-level security (DLS) is enabled, user access to KPIs and business processes is controlled by user role. DLS is disabled by default, and when DLS is enabled, all user roles are denied access to KPIs or business processes by default. For users to have access to KPIs or business processes after DLS is enabled, it is necessary to assign access to specific user roles.

For more information about KPIs, see Administering IBM webMethods Optimize.
