Understanding BIRT Analytics users
Four types of users access Actuate BIRT Analytics products:
*BIRT Analytics users
Users who log in to BIRT Analytics user interface to do data mining and analysis.
*BIRT Analytics Administration users
These users manage access to objects, specify security filters, define password policies, browse logs, synchronize the database, specify password policies, and perform other security maintenance actions.
*BIRT Analytics Loader users
Users who log in to BIRT Analytics Loader to create and execute projects for loading external data into the FastDB repository.
*FastDB Engine users
The FastDB Engine user is the internal account the FastDB engine uses to communicate between the FastDB database and the rest of the internal modules. This account provides an additional layer of security for protecting sensitive data. When you create a project for loading data you must provide the secure account used by the engine to access the data. For more information on administering the FastDB engine data security account, see “Managing FastDB Engine accounts” in Administering BIRT Analytics Loader.
