Virtual Business Boundaries

Virtual Business Boundaries (VBBs) gives system administrators more control over the data that the users within their tenant can see, modify and create reports from. VBBs are not static or confined; they support environments with many different logical overlaps and complexities, such as covering several geographic locations and/or departments. VBBs are designed to fit the intricate needs of the administrator, no matter the size of the environment, over the data in which is most relevant to them and their users.

This includes three concepts, which can be used individually or in combination:

1.Data Anonymization - Administrators have the ability to filter certain data and and data sources from its' users within the boundary, including data that the administrator can anonymize. For example, you can anonymize names, departments and emails from the user.

a.Use case: You want to set up Nova for a particular customer, and you want help desk staff to see data from a particular data source, but you do not want personal identifiable information (PII) to be revealed, such as names and email addresses. Putting these help desk staff into a VBB and anonymizing this data allows this to happen. You can then create another VBB for global administrators with no anonymization, so that these administrators can see the PII.

2.Data Source Restriction - Prevent users from viewing data from certain data sources and specific fields within those sources when viewing and creating reports.

a.Use case: You may have a large complex environment that has many different teams, for example a Teams administration team, a Microsoft Entra ID team and an email administration team, and you only want users to find these particular scopes of data. Here, you can assign a VBB to these individual users in these teams, and add the relevant data sources to these VBBs. Now the users in these VBBs can only see these particular data sources.

3.Data Scope Restriction - Filter the returned data, allowing users in a boundary to see a subset of the data based on a use case. For example, you can filter by country so those uses can only see data about users based in a specific country, or filter by department so users in the boundary only see information about users who are in a certain department.

a.Use case: You have an environment which spans many different countries and departments, but you wish to return reports that only specifies data from the United States for a team in that location. Adding users from the United States, and applying a United States data scope filter to a VBB allows those users to only see data from that location.

info

NOTES:

·For Virtual Business Boundaries to take effect in reports, an Microsoft Entra ID field must be included in the report. This field does NOT have to be the same field that is assigned to the boundary.

·Virtual Business Boundaries can only be created and accessed by a System Administrator.

·You can only input individual users when creating boundaries. Adding groups of users is not currently supported.

 

VBBs give system administrators the ability to isolate data for their users. For example:

·Giving Level One support in Germany the ability to only see German users.

·Allowing a Business Unit manager to only see data for its users from within their Business Unit.

·Allowing business users to only see data for specific workloads (SharePoint Online, Teams, Exchange etc).

·Personal Identifiable Information can only be visible for those within certain geographies and/or departments, whilst being restricted to those outside of them.

 

To access Virtual Business Boundaries:

1.Log in to Nova with a user that has the System Administrator role.

2.Open the menu in the top left corner of the navigation menu, and select TMS Client.

3.Click Virtual Boundaries from the left navigation menu.

Creating a boundary

Follow the steps below to create your own boundary:

1.Select the organization you would like to apply the boundary to.

2.Click Add Boundary.

3.Create a boundary name, and add a description if required.

4.Check the Anonymize sensitive information for selected users box if you would like to have sensitive information, such as names and email addresses, hidden for your selected users. See Data Anonymization on this page to find out more about this.

5.Enter the name of the user to add to the boundary, and click on the name from the drop down list.

6.Once all of your chosen users have been added, select Add Users.

7.Revise your selected users. You can remove a user by hovering over the chosen user, checking the circular box, and clicking Remove Users. Once you are done reviewing your users, click Next.

8.Select the data source(s) you would like users in the boundary to see by checking the box. See Data Source Restriction on this page to find out more about this.

9.All data fields are checked by default. Uncheck the data fields you would not like to your users to see, and click Next.

10. Scope Restrictions is where you can narrow the data of the boundary. See Data Scope Restriction on this page to find out more about this. For example, if you would like to narrow the scope of the boundary to apply only to users in the Sales department in the United States:

a.Click Add Filter Group.

b.Click Select field..., then choose Country or region.

c.For Select operator, click is equal to.

d.In the Enter filter value box, enter United States.

e.Click the plus icon, and ensure the operator states And.

f.Click Select field..., then choose Department.

g.For Select operator, choose is equal to.
