MicroStrategy ONE

Granting User Access to Rename Objects and View Tenant Languages

The procedures in this section will help you modify existing MicroStrategy projects to support metadata object renaming and tenant languages.

Allowing Access to Objects for Renaming

To perform object renaming, access to specific objects is controlled primarily through access control lists (ACLs). You can allow permissions to specific users for each object that needs to be renamed, or for each tenant language (a set of objects for a given tenant).

Access to Add or Modify an Object Name

By default, administrators and object owners can rename an object or modify an existing object name. Use ACLs to provide other users Write access to an object, if other users need to rename that object. To change ACL permissions, right-click the object and select Properties, then select Security on the left. For details on each ACL and what access it allows, click Help.

You can also provide a user with the Use Repository Translation Wizard privilege, within the Object Manager set of privileges. This allows a user to perform the necessary steps to rename strings in bulk, for all tenants, without giving the user the ability to modify an object in any other way. To change a privilege, open the user in the User Editor and select Project Access on the left.

Access to Select or Enable a Tenant's Object Names

By default, MicroStrategy users are provided with appropriate privileges to Browse and Use a tenant's objects, such that analysts can select a tenant language (the set of objects that use the tenant's names) as their display preference if that tenant language has been enabled for a project. Project administrators can enable any tenant language available in the system.

You can modify these default privileges for a specific user role or a specific tenant language.

To Modify Access to a Tenant's set of Object Names (Tenant Language)

  1. In the Folder List on the left, within the appropriate project source, expand Administration.
  2. Expand Configuration Managers, then select Languages.
  3. All tenant languages are listed on the right. To change ACL permissions for a tenant language, right-click the object and select Properties.
  4. Select Security on the left. For details on each ACL and what access it allows, click Help.
