Query and report permissions
You can choose a number of ways to restrict access to queries and reports.
To run a query or report, you need permissions to not only that query or report, but the feature sets
associated with their result types. A query's results pages will only provide access to permitted actions
given your permission sets.
Groups and permission sets control access to queries and reports. All queries and reports must belong
to a group, and access to that query or report is controlled by the permission level of the group. Query
and report groups have one of the following permission levels:
•
Private — the group is only available to the user that created it.
•
Public — the group is shared globally.
•
By permission set — the group is only available to users assigned the selected permission sets.
Permission sets have four levels of access to queries or reports. These permissions include:
•
No permissions — The Query or Report tab is not available to users with no permissions.
•
Use public queries — Grants permission to use any queries or reports that have been placed in a Public
group.
•
Use public queries; create and edit personal queries — Grants permission to use any queries or reports that
have been placed in a Public group, as well as the ability to use the Query Builder to create and edit
queries or reports in Private groups.
•
Edit public queries; create and edit personal queries; make personal queries public — Grants permission to use and
edit any queries or reports placed in Public groups, create and edit queries or reports in Private groups,
as well as the ability to move queries or reports from Private groups to Public or Shared groups.
About queries
Queries are essentially questions you ask ePolicy Orchestrator and answers are returned in various
forms of charts and tables.
A query can be used individually to get an answer right now. Any query's results can be exported to a
variety of formats, any of which can be downloaded or sent as an attachment to an email message.
Most queries can also be used as dashboard monitors, enabling near real-time system monitoring.
Queries can also be combined into reports, giving a more broad and systematic look at your ePolicy
Orchestrator software system.
