Roles and Permissions

From QPR ProcessAnalyzer Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

QPR ProcessAnalyzer uses role-based access control mechanism, so operation require permissions in order to be executable. Permissions are given to users and user groups by assigning users to roles, where roles are a collection of permissions. Roles can be bound either to a project or be global, which means that that role (and its permissions) is applicable for all the contents in the database. Users belonging to an user group have automatically all the roles assigned to that user group.

Global Roles

Global roles are roles are assigned when <All> is selected from the project list in the Manage Users dialog.

Evaluator has the following additional restrictions:

  • Maximum number of models: 10
  • Maximum number of event in a model: 1000
  • Maximum number of event attributes in a model: 1000
  • Maximum number of case attributes in a model: 1000
  • Maximum number of created integration tables: 10
  • Maximun number of rows in created integration table: 1000
  • Maximun number of columns in created integration table: 1000
  • Evaluator and Model Creator get the Project administrator role for the projects that they create (see User Roles and Rights for Individual Projects below). They can delete models in the created projects only.
  • Models created by an Evaluator inherit the restrictions the current user has. These restrictions are in effect for all the imports targeting that model, no matter who is doing the import.
  • Users with Global Administrator or Model Creator role can always import new data into any model without restrictions. Note, however, that a user cannot import more data than what is allowed by the product's activation limits.

Project Roles

By default, QPR ProcessAnalyzer database contains roles that are in the columns of following tables. The roles are mapped to permissions that are in the rows of the following table.

  • If a group member is a Project Administrator, he/she can add and remove project specific access rights for the group or for any individual member of the project.

Filtering Permissions

A user can query details of a filter via Web Service API for any filter created to a model the user has at least GenericRead permission.

A filter is visible if the user has permissions for the model the filter belongs to and any of the following conditions is true:

  • User has ManageReports or ManageViews permission for the project the model belongs to (e.g. has Administrator role for project or global)
  • User is the creator of the bookmark.
  • The publish mode of the bookmark public.​​


3 A filter is visible in Web Client UI if the user has permissions for the model the filter belongs to and the publish model of the filter is public.

Scripting Permissions

Permissions required for all ETL script related tasks:

  • Viewing scripts: Global RunScripts
    • All scripts linked to the current context are available to be viewed provided that the current user has permission to see the scripts in the context. The required permissions by context are:
      • System context: No additional requirements.
      • Project context: GenericRead permission for the project.
      • Model context: GenericRead permission for the project of the model.
      • User context: 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 users or user groups, global ManageScripts permission is required.
      • If a special HideScriptDetailsFromNonScriptManagers flag is set for a script, then only users with modify permissions for the script can see the ScriptText and Script log.
  • Script creation, modification, deletion and export:
    • System context: Global ManageScripts, Global RunScripts
    • Project context: ManageScripts for project, Global RunScripts
    • Model context: ManageScripts for project of the model, Global RunScripts
    • User context: Global RunScripts and if the script is linked to a user group the user belongs to, GroupAdministrator user group role is required.
  • Running scripts: Global RunScripts and view permissions.

Integration Table Permissions

Integration tables are linked to a single project. Permissions for that project are used when determining the permissions for accessing its integration tables. ManageIntegrations and GenericRead permission are required in order to be able to see integration tables.

ManageIntegrations and GenericWrite permission are required in order to be able to create and modify integration tables.

It is possible to give quotas for users bound to roles for the following attributes related to integration tables:

  • Maximum number of created integration tables
  • Maximum number of rows in created integration table
  • Maximum number of columns in created integration table

DataTable Permissions

Creation

New data table can be created only by users having global CreateModel permission. When creating a new data table, data table size restrictions (maximum number of rows and columns allowed by user's roles) are copied from current user and stored for the data table. This is done in order to prevent global evaluator user from creating a project administrator user (after creating an user group) and using that to import more data into the data table created by the evaluator user than is allowed by evaluator user's role.

Importing new data

New data can be imported into a data table by any user having global or project specific GenericWrite and ManageIntegrations permissions. CreateModel permission is required if the user is not appending to an existing data table (is overwriting already existing data table). User may never import more data than is allowed by product's activation. Data table specific data quotas are ignored for users that have unrestricted global CreateModel permission. Users that have restricted global CreateModel permission (e.g., global evaluators) or users that don't have any global CreateModel permission may only import the amount of data into a data table specified in data table's own restrictions.

Viewing

In order to view created data tables, the following global or project specific permissions are required: ManageIntegrations, GenericRead.

Model Permissions

Creation

New model can be created only by users having global CreateModel access right. When creating a new model, model size restrictions (maximum number of events, case attributes and event attributes allowed by user's roles) are copied from current user and stored for the Model. This is done in order to prevent global evaluator user from creating a project administrator user (after creating an user group) and using that to import more data into the model created by the evaluator user than is allowed by evaluator user's role.

Importing new data

New data can be imported into a model by any user having global or project specific GenericWrite permission. User may never import more data than is allowed by product's activation. Model specific data quotas are ignored for users that have unrestricted global CreateModel permission. Users that have restricted global CreateModel permission (e.g., global evaluators) or users that don't have any global CreateModel permission may only import the amount of data into a model specified in model's own restrictions.

Miscellaneous Operations Permissions

  • Open analysis for a model: GenericRead permission for the project.
  • Create new filter (include only, exclude etc.): Filtering permission for the project.
  • Importing new data into an existing model: GenericWrite permission for the project.
  • Create a new model and project: Global CreateModel permission. Administrator role is given for the user into the created project (and thus also model).
  • Add a model into project: CreateModel permission for the target project. Model is moved into target project and all old permissions are replaced by the permissions for the target project.
  • Remove a model from a project: DeleteModel permission for the project from which the model is removed.
  • Create a new model into existing project: Global CreateModel and CreateModel permission for the target project.
  • Move a model from a project to another: GenericWrite and DeleteModel permissions for the source project and CreateModel permission for the target project.
  • Making modifications to a project object (renaming, deleting, restoring, changing description): ManageProject and GenericRead permissions for the project.
  • Moving a project into recycle bin: DeleteModel and ManageProject permissions for the project.
  • Restoring a project from recycle bin: Global GenericRead, CreateModel and ManageProject permissions.
  • Deleting a project from the database: Global DeleteModel permission and ManageProject permission for the project.
  • Creating a copy of a project: Global CreateModel permission and GenericRead and ManageProject permissions for the project.
  • Creating an integration for a project: CreateModel permission for the project.
  • Creating an integration job for an integration: GenericWrite permission for the project.
  • Importing integration data into an integration job: GenericWrite permission for the project.
  • Querying integrations and integration jobs: GenericRead permission for project the integration belongs to.
  • Modifying existing integration or integration job objects: User has created the object and has GenericWrite permission for the project or user has ManageIntegrations permission for the project.
  • Deleting existing integration objects: User has created the object and has DeleteModel permission for the project or user has ManageIntegrations permission for the project.
  • Deleting existing integration job objects: User has created the object and has GenericWrite permission for the project or user has ManageIntegrations permission for the project.
