QPR ProcessAnalyzer has a role-based access control, where all operations require appropriate rights in order to be executable. Rights are given to users and groups by assigning roles to them. Roles are a collection of permissions. Permissions are fixed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer allowing certain operations to be done. Some roles are project-specific meaning that that role (and its permissions) is applicable only for that project. Roles can also be global which gives rights to all projects in the system. Users belonging to a group, have all the roles assigned to that group.

Global and Project Roles

There are two types of roles in QPR ProcessAnalyzer:

  • Global roles are used to give rights in the entire QPR ProcessAnalyzer system.
  • Project roles are used to give rights in a certain project. When assigning projects roles, the project is also defined.

By default, QPR ProcessAnalyzer system contains global and project roles that are shown in the following table (roles are as columns). The roles have been mapped to certain permissions that are also shown in the following table (permissions are as rows). It's possible to create new roles in QPR ProcessAnalyzer.

Global roles Project roles
Permission Allowed operations Administrator Create models SQL Scripting Administrator Designer Analyzer Viewer
View dashboards
(GenericRead)
  • View project's and model's information (name, description, configuration etc.)
  • List datatables and view their contents
  • Open dashboards (queries made by the dashboards are still restricted by the permissions)
  • Run analyses for model and view the analysis results
  • See own private filters, all published filters and the model default filter (not allowed to create/modify/delete filters)

Save filters
(Filtering)
  • Create, modify and delete own filters (private and public, but not model default)
  • Publish own private filters for other users (but not set the model default filter). Published filters are still user's own, so other users cannot modify them.

Design dashboards
(EditDashboards)
  • Create, modify and delete dashboards (as a project role, dashboards in the assigned project; as a global role, all dashboards).

Import data
(GenericWrite)
  • Edit model settings (but not possible to create or delete models)
  • Import data to datatables (either directly or import to a model which uses datatables)

Manage filters
(ManageViews)
  • View, create, modify and delete all filters in the model (also other users' private filters).
  • Set the model default filter.

Manage project
(ManageProject)
  • Modify project information (name and description) (also GenericRead permission is needed)
Tick.gif
Tick.gif
Delete models
(DeleteModel)

As a project specific permission:

  • Moving model to recycle bin (soft deleting) (also project specific ManageProject permission is needed)
  • Delete datatables (for datatables deletion is always permanent)

As a global permission:

  • Permanently deleting models and projects (remove from the recycle bin) (also global ManageProject permission is needed)
Tick.gif
Tick.gif
Manage scrips
(ManageScripts)
  • As a project role, create, modify and delete scripts in project and model context.
  • As a global role, create, modify and delete all scripts.

This permission to be effective requires also the RunScript permission.

Manage operations
(ManageOperations)

Manage users
(ManageUsers)
  • Administrate users and groups, e.g. create new users and groups, and add users to groups.
Tick.gif
Create model
(CreateModel)
  • Create projects, models and datatables. When a project is created, the creator gets project Administrator role for the project (giving full permissions to the project).

SQL scripting
(RunScripts)
  • View scripts code and other script properties (with additional restrictions listed below)
  • Run scripts (with additional restrictions listed below)
  • Create, modify and delete scripts that are in user's own context.

The rights depend also in which of the following contexts the script is located:

  • project: To view scripts that are in project or model context, user needs to have the GenericRead for the project.
  • model: See above.
  • user: Only the user itself can view, create, modify and delete scripts that are in the user's own context (except users with global ManageScripts permission can see scripts in other users' context).
  • system: All users with RunScripts can see scripts in the system context.

Datatable Permission

Permissions required for datatables:

  • List datatables, view datatable properties and data contents: GenericRead for the project.
  • Create datatable: GenericWrite for the project and global CreateModel.
  • Change datatable properties and import data to datatable: GenericWrite for the project.
  • Move datatable between projects: GenericWrite and DeleteModel to source project, GenericWrite for target project, and global CreateModel.
  • Delete datatable (permanently): GenericWrite and DeleteModel for the project.

Dashboard Permissions

  • View dashboard: EditDashboards for the project.
  • Create dashboard: EditDashboards for the project.
  • Edit dashboard: EditDashboards for the project.
  • Move dashboard: EditDashboards for the original project and for the target project.
  • Delete dashboard (permanently): EditDashboards for the project.

Filter Permissions

  • View own private filters, all published filters and model default filter: GenericRead for the project.
  • View all filters: ManageViews for the project.
  • Create filter: Filtering for the project.
  • Modify own filter: Filtering for the project.
  • Modify all filters: ManageViews for the project.
  • Publish own filter: Filtering for the project.
  • Publish all filters: ManageViews for the project.
  • Delete own filter (permanently): Filtering for the project.
  • Delete all filters (permanently): ManageViews for the project.
  • Set model default filter: ManageViews for the project.

Model Permissions

  • View model: GenericRead for the project.
  • Create model: global CreateModel.
  • Change model properties (e.g. name): GenericRead and GenericWrite for the project.
  • Move model: GenericRead for the original project, and CreateModel for the target project.
  • Delete model (to bin): GenericRead and DeleteModel for the project.
  • Delete model (permanently): global DeleteModel.
  • Copy model: Global CreateModel permission and GenericRead for the copied model.

Project Permissions

  • View project: GenericRead for the project. (There are separate permissions for viewing different type of objects in the project.)
  • Create project: global CreateModel.
  • Change project properties (e.g. name): GenericRead and ManageProject for the project.
  • Move project: ManageProject for the moved project, GenericRead for the original parent project, and CreateModel for the target parent project.
  • Delete project (to bin): ManageProject and DeleteModel for the project.
  • Delete project (permanently): global DeleteModel and ManageProject permission for the project.
  • Copy project: Global CreateModel permission, and GenericRead and ManageProject for the copied project.

SQL Scripting Permissions

For viewing and running scripts, global RunScripts permission is needed. All scripts linked to the current context are available provided that the user has permission to see the scripts in the context. The required permissions by context are:

  • System: No additional requirements.
  • Project: GenericRead permission for the project.
  • User: If the script is linked to current user, then no additional requirements. If the script is linked to a group the current user belongs to, no additional requirements. If the script is linked to other user or groups, global ManageScripts permission is required.

For script creation, modification and deletion, the following permissions are needed depending on the script context:

  • System: Global ManageScripts.
  • Project: project ManageScripts.
  • User: If the script is linked to a user group the user belongs to, group administrator user group role is required.

If Hide Script Details is set for the script, only users with modify permissions for the script can see the script code and log.
