Adding Authority Groups

Add authority groups to help manage your users.

You can use this facility to enable users to administer areas of your Xpress Insight installation without providing the access available to the predefined SystemAdministration authority. For example, creating an authority group with the authorities SYS_SERVER and SYS_SERVICES would grant assigned users permission to configure Tableau, change LDAP settings, view the Logs, and edit Execution Services without allowing them to change User settings or Authorities assigned to users.

  1. To add an authority group, click on ADD AUTHORITY GROUP in the Authority Groups page.
    The Add authority group page opens.

  2. Add the following information about the authority group.
    Field Description
    Name The name of the authority group.
    Validation:
    • Min length: 1
    • Max length: 200
    • Allowed characters: alpha-numeric, spaces and -
    Description A description of the purpose of the authority group.
    Validation:
    • Max length: 200
    • Allowed characters: : alpha-numeric, spaces and _.!#&+-/\=?^_{}
    Authorities This is a drop-down menu through which one or more authorities can be selected. When an authority is selected, it appears below the drop-down. Clicking the delete icon next to the authority removes it from the list of selected authorities and places it back into the list of selectable authorities.
  3. Click SAVE CHANGES to add the authority group. (Or click CANCEL to return to the List authority groups page.)
