Security Groups in Enterprise Reporter

When installing Enterprise Reporter 3.2.2 for the first time, if you let Enterprise Reporter create the database and security groups, the security group type is automatically set to Domain Local.

If an earlier version of Enterprise Reporter was previously installed, or if the security groups were created manually, the existing security groups may not be Domain Local groups. You can determine the security group type chosen when Enterprise Reporter was originally deployed on the System | Information page.

If the existing groups are not Domain Local groups, during install or upgrade, you will be given the option to keep them or to configure new security group types (recommended).

The following table outlines each supported choice:

Table 15. Security Group Types
Security type
Location of group
Who you can add to the group

Domain Local (recommended)

Added to the domain Users OU

The groups are given the appropriate SQL roles

A domain local group can have the following members: user accounts, groups with universal scope, and groups with global scope — all from any domain. If users are in multiple domains, this type of group is required.

Global

Added to the domain Users OU

The groups are given the appropriate SQL roles

A domain global group can have the following members: accounts from the same domain and other groups with global scope from the same domain. If all users are in the same domain, this type of group may be used.

Your choice will impact the following options:

•
Determine where the groups will be created, and what type of groups they are — Active Directory® objects (Domain Local and Global groups).
•
Determine who in your environment can be added to the groups (and therefore who can access Enterprise Reporter).
•
The account being used to create the database will be added to the security groups, thus giving this account full access to Enterprise Reporter.
* 
NOTE: In order to create groups, the currently logged in account must have appropriate rights for the type of groups you are creating. If you are creating Domain Local or Global groups, you must be able to add users to the domain Users OU, and add members to groups.
