Scorecard-Specific Data Access Security

How to:

For each scorecard in PMF, you can set scorecard-specific data access security by changing the default dimensional levels of measure data to which the scorecard has access. Granting users access to view a particular scorecard automatically allows them to view its measures dimensionally as appropriate for that scorecard. Note that you can either define access to levels of dimensionality by owner or set scorecard-specific data access. Using one method overrides the other. For more information about owner-based data access, see Setting Measure Access for Users (Owners).

Before you can set scorecard-specific data access security, you must change Access Security in the Security form on the Settings menu to S (Scorecard) from the default of O (Off). Setting scorecard-specific data access provides each owner, who has read access or higher for a scorecard, access to all of the measure values at the dimensional levels that the scorecard is set to access.

Note: If a particular measure has row-level security turned off, it will not be filtered for scorecard-specific data access. For more information, see Excluding a Measure Series From Access Security.

Scorecard-specific data access security overrides global access security, which determines access to dimensional levels by owner instead of scorecard.

Note: Global (owner-based) data access security is set by changing Access Security to G (Global) in the Security form on the Settings menu.
