Security Groups in Enterprise Reporter

When installing Enterprise Reporter 3.5.0 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 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:

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 affect the following options:

Role-Based Security in Enterprise Reporter

The data collected and reported by Enterprise Reporter can contain sensitive information about your environment. To ensure that only appropriate users can access this information, each console has role based security.

To be able to open a console, you must be assigned to one of the security groups. Four security groups are created when the Enterprise Reporter server is installed, and four are associated with SQL roles:

Reporter_Discovery_Admins

Discovery_Admin_Role

(also known as discovery administrator)

Reporter_Reporting_Operators

Reporting_Operator_Role

(also known as reporting user)

Reporter_Reporting_Admins

Reporting_Admin_Role

(also known as reporting administrator)

Reporter_Discovery_Nodes

Discovery_Nodes_Role
