TM1 Users and Groups Security Overview

TM1® manages security by organizing TM1 users into groups. TM1 includes a set of three predefined administrative groups and also allows you to create your own custom groups. Users can belong to one or multiple groups.

TM1 has two major types of user groups:

Administrative Groups - Includes only the predefined groups of ADMIN, DataAdmin and SecurityAdmin. For more details, see "Understanding Administrative Groups and Authority".
User Groups - Includes all user-created groups, which typically contain non-administrative TM1 users.

You can use the TM1 Clients/Groups box to manage TM1 users and groups. The Clients/Groups dialog box organizes groups and users separately.

As a TM1 administrator, you must be running TM1 Architect or TM1 Perspectives on your machine to administer security on the IBM® Cognos® TM1 server .
