Planning Analytics Local security
After you install IBM® Planning Analytics Local, you can configure the specific authentication and security modes that you want to use.
Configuration of authentication and data transmission security is part of the installation and configuration process. The steps for setting user, group, and object security are typically done after the initial installation and configuration process and are described in separate documentation.
Authentication security
Authentication or login security configuration includes selecting the type of login security that controls user access to the different Planning Analytics components.
For information about users in Planning Analytics Workspace, see Administer users in Planning Analytics Workspace.
Data transmission security
Security configuration includes configuring Planning Analytics to use an encrypted communication protocol for secure data transmission. The Planning Analytics Data Tier is deployed to IBM WebSphere Liberty Profile (WLP). Properties of encrypted communication for WLP such as protocols, ciphers, and the location and password of a keystore that contains required server key and certificates, must be configured through Cognos Configuration.
User and Group security
Planning Analytics manages security by organizing users into groups. Planning Analytics includes a set of three predefined administrative groups. You can create your own custom groups. Users can belong to one or multiple groups.
For information about configuring Planning Analytics user and group security, see Managing Users and Groups in TM1 Operations.
Object security
Another level of Planning Analytics security is object security. You can use this type of security to control access to the specific TM1® objects in your data model, but it is not configured during the initial installation and configuration process.
For more information about setting security for TM1 objects, see Controlling Access to TM1 Objects in TM1 Developer.
