About Actuate Information Console functionality levels

Actuate Information Console provides functionality levels to control which features are available to a user. Each user has an allocated functionality level. Functionality levels are mapped to security roles, much like privileges. Four functionality levels are supplied with Actuate Information Console. Table 1-2 shows the supplied functionality levels and their corresponding security roles:

Table 1-2  Functionality levels mapping to security roles 

Functionality level	Security role
Basic	All—default access
Intermediate	Active Portal Intermediate
Advanced	Active Portal Advanced
Administrator	Active Portal Administrator

The Actuate Information Console administrator can modify these levels and add additional levels by editing the configuration file. The standard location for the Actuate Information Console configuration file is <context root>\WEB-INF\functionality-level.config. The functionality level description includes the name of its corresponding security role in the Encyclopedia volume. Make sure that any roles specified in the configuration file also exist in the Encyclopedia volume. Because all users automatically belong to the All security role, all users will receive the functionality associated with the Basic functionality level plus the functionality associated with any other roles they have.
