A published briefing book consists of static HTML files which display measures and locations depending on the security settings of the user who is defined as the content publisher of the internet library. For example, if the system specialist is the content publisher of a book with a section containing the top measure in a view, all the measures in that view are available to internet publishing users. After the book is generated, Metrics Management security settings do not apply. By default, only the system specialist has the ability to create and generate an internet library.

Consider creating a user specifically for which to define library security settings. Limit view access for the user to the measures and locations that you intend to publish. Only those measures and locations that the content publisher has permissions to view appear in published briefing books.

Restrict access to the measure and locations in published books by disabling submeasure and sublocation drill down for the internet library. Disabling submeasure drill down ensures that only the measures that appear in the book are available to library users. Disabling sublocation drill down ensures that only the top location specified in each book section is viewable by internet publishing users.

Additionally, limit which measures and locations appear in published books by changing the top location for book sections to a location lower in the view hierarchy.
