Security Permissions Setting dialog

This dialog appears when you click the Permissions button in the Group dialog, Role dialog or User dialog. It helps you to set the permission settings for the RLS and CLS policies of the specified user, group, or role.

The following are details about the options in the dialog:

Policy setting

Enables the permission settings for the current principal. You should have this option selected if you want to specify a security policy for the principal.

Policy no limit

Disables the permission settings for the current principal. If this option is selected, you will not be able to configure the security policy settings for the principal, which means that the principal has the access to all the records and columns in the report, which applies this security policy entry.

Record Level Security tab

Specifies the condition statements. See the tab.

If the policy settings are left blank, the user in this role will not be able to view any records, unless he/she belongs to more than one role, and the other roles have the necessary permissions.

Values Description
AND Specifies the relationship between two expression statements as logical AND. If this line is the last line in the expression list, when you select AND or OR, and a new line will be appended to the end of the list as well.
OR Specifies the relationship between two expression statements as logical OR. If this line is the last line in the expression list, when you select AND or OR, and a new line will be appended to the end of the list as well.
