Create Security Roles

Yes! The Strategy product suite comes with a number of predefined security roles for administrators. These roles makes it easy to delegate administrative tasks.

The predefined project administration roles cover every project-level administrative privilege except for Bypass All Object Security Access Checks. None of the roles have any privileges in common. For a list of the privileges included with each predefined security role, see the List of Privileges section.

The predefined administration security roles are:

• Analyst, who have authoring capabilities.
• Analytics Architect, who can create, publish, and optimize a federated data layer as the enterprise’s single version of the truth. Users can build and maintain schema objects and abstraction layers on top of various, changing enterprise assests.
• Application Administrator, who have access to all application-specific tasks.
• Application Architect, who create, share, and maintain intelligence applications for the enterprise.
• Certifier, who can certify objects in addition to having authoring capabilities.
• Collaborator, who can view and collaborate on a dashboard or document they have access to.
• Consumer, who can only view a dashboard or document they have access to.
• Database Architect, who can optimize query performance and utilization based on query type, usage patterns, and application design requirements by tuning VLDB settings or configuring schema objects.
• Embedded Analytics Architect, who can inject, extend, and embed analytics into portals, third-party, mobile, and white-labelled applications.
• IntroBI, which is used for the Strategy class "Introduction to Enterprise Business Intelligence."
• Mobile Architect, who builds, compiles, deploys, and maintains mobile environments and applications. This user can also optimize the end user experience when accessing applications via mobile devices.
• Northeast Users, which is used for the Strategy class "Introduction to Enterprise Business Intelligence."
• Platform Administrator, who configures the Intelligence Server, maintain the security layer, monitor system usage, and optimize architecture in order to reduce errors, maximize uptime, and boost performance.
• Power Users, which have the largest subset of privileges of any security role.
• Project Bulk Administrators, who can perform administrative functions on multiple objects with Object Manager (see Copying Objects Between Projects: Object Manager), Command Manager (see Automating Administrative Tasks with Command Manager), and the Bulk Repository Translation Tool.
• Project Operations Administrators, who can perform maintenance on various aspects of a project.
• Project Operations Monitors, who can view the various Intelligence Server monitors but cannot make any changes to the monitored systems.
• Project Resource Settings Administrators, who can configure project-level settings.
• Project Security Administrators, who create users and manage user and object security.
• System Administrator, who sets up, maintains, monitors, and continuously supports the infrastructure environment through deployment on cloud, Windows, or Linux.

Do not modify the privileges for an out-of-the-box security role. During upgrades to newer versions of Strategy, the privileges for the out-of-the-box security roles are overwritten with the default privileges. Instead, you should copy the security role you need to modify and make changes to the copied version.
