Test page-level security by deploying the sample design to the volume. For example, a report may shows information about the sales reps in the following city offices:
NYC
Boston
Philadelphia
User1 has access to the pages with information about NYC office, user2 to the Boston office, and user3 to the Philadelphia office. The file, user.acls, contains the following access control list specifications:
user1=NYC
user2=Boston
user3=Philadelphia
To deploy the sample design to a volume, perform the following steps:
1 Using BIRT iHub Visualization Platform, log in to the volume as Administrator.
2 In Documents, choose Upload to upload the design to the volume.
3 In Documents, from the design file drop-down list, choose Run to execute the design.
On Parameters, enter parameters as appropriate. Choose Finish to complete the running of the report and generate an output document.
The administrator is able to see all three offices.
User1 can only see the information for the NYC office, as shown in Figure 30‑2.
Figure 30‑2 Example of document output
To change the assignments in the file, user.acls, wait for the volume cache time-out period. Alternatively, put the volume offline, restart the BIRT iHub application container, then take the volume online again before checking to see if the changes are effective.
