Working with Attributes

This documentation is an older version of Jaspersoft OLAP User Guide. View the latest documentation.

Attributes can be defined for each JasperReports Server user, organization, or server instance. They are used to categorize or tag these in order to define security rules around data. Administrators can view and edit

attributes on the administration pages; for example:

•

On the Manage > Users page, edit a user and click Attributes to define attributes that control the data displayed to that user.

•

On the Manage > Organizations page, edit an organization and click Attributes to define attributes that control the data displayed to users who belong to that organization.

•

On the Manage > Server Settings page, click Server Attributes to define attributes that control the data returned by this server instance.

For more information on attributes, refer to the JasperReports Server Administrator Guide and the JasperReports Server Security Guide. For a detailed example of data-level security, including a complete example of cube security based on attributes and roles, refer to the Jaspersoft OLAP Ultimate Guide.
