Setting project security

You can control access to decision service branches by enforcing security for projects in releases, activities, or ungoverned branches. You can also control access to these projects for specific groups of users.

About this task

When you enforce security within a decision service, you can control which groups of users have access to projects in the different branches. For example, you can enforce security for an entire decision service, and select groups that can access this decision service. You can then restrict access for a specific project, so that among these groups, only some groups can access this project.

Security is inherited from a branch. For example, when a new project is added to a release that inherited security from the original release, the project gets the inherited security of its release.

You define which users are members of a group in the tab Groups.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Business console as a Decision Center administrator.
  2. In the Administration tab, click Project security. In this tab, you have a tree grid view of the decision services. You can expand each decision service and their branches, to see the projects in each branch.
  3. Hover over the branch for which you want to enforce security, and click the icon to edit it.
  4. In the window that opens, a status under Security indicates whether the security is enforced or not. Click this status to modify the state of the security.
    Note: If the parent branch already has security enforced, the security settings are inherited from this branch. You can click the message Security settings are inherited from Branch to override the security settings.
  5. For branches on which security is enforced, select the groups of users who can access the branch in the Groups section.
  6. Optional: After you enforce security in a branch, you can restrict access to some projects in this branch for specific groups of users. Click the Edit icon for your project, and select the groups that can access this project.
  7. Click Done to save your changes.
