Security Groups and Windows AD

$

Hi,

 

Could I get any opinions on the following which is something we are thinking about - specifically what are Pros and Cons - Thanks!

 

Currently this is our basic security setup using WinAD Authentication - its a simplified version of the actual but gets my point across

 

In Windows AD

Group:                  BOWinADProd – in CMC this is Authentication Group

  

In Business Objects

Group:                Report Analyst (associated with Access Level of “Analyst”)

SubGroups:        Report Analyst Accounting, Report Analyst Claims


Group:                Report Viewer (associated with Access “Viewer”)

SubGroups         Report Viewer Accounting, Report Viewer Claims

  

Process:  JohnDoe and JaneDoe are new users

 

  1. JohnDoe and JaneDoe are assigned in WinAD to the WinAD Group BOWinADProd
  2. JohnDoe is assigned in BO CMC to BO Group Report Analyst Accounting, JaneDoe is assigned to BO Group Report Viewer Claims

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Proposal – considering the following because the user setup is only needed in WinAD as opposed to the above WinAD and BO CMC

  

Windows  AD

(In CMC these are Authentication Groups)

  • BOWinADProdReportAnalystAccting
  • BOWinADProdReportAnalystClaims
  • BOWinADProdReportViewerAccting
  • BOWinADProdReportViewerClaims

        

In Business Objects

Group:                Report Analyst (associated with Access Level of “Analyst”)

SubGroups:        BOWinADProdReportAnalystAccting, BOWinADProdReportAnalystClaims


Group:                Report Viewer (associated with Access Level of “Viewer”)

SubGroups:        BOWinADProdReportViewerAccting, BOWinADProdReportViewerClaims

 

Process:  JohnDoe and JaneDoe are new users

 

  1. JohnDoe is assigned in WinAD to the WinAD Group BOWinADProdReportAnalystAccting and JaneDoe is assigned in WinAD to the
    WinAD Group BOWinADProdReportViewerClaims
  2. No additional work in BO CMC
