pentaho uses acegi security. you could start by searching wiki entries on bi platform security and having a look at the *acegi* files in pentaho-solutions/system/

you can grant permissions on folders/items on the bi-server itself (in the admin panel of 1.7; and directly in PUC (pentaho user console) and PAC (pentaho admin console) on 2.0)

I'm interested in this part but in the admin console i don't see where i can grant permissions, i found only users/roles management...

thanks

You grant permissions in the normal BI Server view, right click on a folder or xaction and go to properties

thanks to all!

another question....:rolleyes:
if i have a jsp mapped to a .url file, it appears in the window like ordinary xaction and i can define permission.
But what about requesting the jsp directly???it overcomes the rules....:(

You need to log in with a user with 'Admin' permissions into de PUC (http://localhost:8080/pentaho),
Then in the user browser where you can see the reports, right click on one of them, then select the 'Share' option from the floating menu.
There you can manage all actions that rules or users can do.
Hope this helps :rolleyes:

Place your JSP files under the tomcat/webapps/pentaho/jsp folder. No files under this folder can be requested directly.

Hi,

I have a question - can I set access permissions on a folder and ALL its subfolders recursively?

I have a set of folders with its subfolders, each folder representing a company. I also have those companies as users. I want each company to see only its folder/subfolders

regards, dejan
