Context! is designed to help you get the most out of your BI investment by fostering higher usage. To achieve this, a powerful security model lets you ensure that users will only see what they need to see, when they need to see it - automatically.
Whether you use LDAP or Active Directory, Context! can easily attach to your existing security infrastructure and take advantage of the work you have already done to help you create a fully trusted, single security model that is controlled automatically through existing infrastructure.
Context! lets you quickly and easily create custom roles that you can then leverage to give your users as much - or as little - access as you see fit. With powerful customization capabilities and over 58 selectable access attributes, you can create a nearly infinite number of access roles, each designed to help you give every user type in your company the access they need. You can even control specific settings like the type of documents they are allowed to export form the system.
Best of all, because Context! is a 100% browser-based system, all security is controlled at the server level, which means that upgrading a user from simple "view only" access to full report-writing capabilities requires nothing more than changing their role. Seconds later they will have new features at their disposal without a single installation or custom deployment script.
Deploying dashboards, reports and content throughout Context! is as simple as using groups. Create nested groupings that mirror your reporting structure to help ensure, for example, that your sales organization's regional sales reps see the data they need without having access to the data they shouldn't see. Combine groups and roles to create a powerful 1-2 punch that helps you completely control who sees what, when and how.
Take security beyond just your users by leveraging Context!'s cascading security model. Set access rights at the data source, the meta-data, tab as well as report levels to fully replicate the decision-making process of your organization in order to delegate control and security to the users who need it - but only for the data and detail level they need it for; all done in minutes, all from the centralized Administration console.
