Assigning JasperReports Server Role

Access to the JasperReports Server is controlled by the Server and Dashboards and Reports permissions that are assigned to a RiskVision role. The New Role dialog allows you to specifically assign a Jasper role. You can utilize this dialog to assign a default dual role when users are imported from an external directory. This makes it easier to administer RiskVision and Jasper roles together. Assign a role that is higher in the Jasper role hierarchy, or the Server Manage permission, to manage complex features, such as creating and managing domains, users, roles and permissions, manage repositories, and so on. In JasperReports Server, you can add, delete, enable or disable a Jasper role, or you can simply remove a Jasper role from a RiskVision role.

By default, provides the following Jasper roles to access JasperReports Server:

• User
• Author
• Power User
• Administrator

The following table lists the RiskVision roles that are equivalent to the JasperReports Server roles, and indicates what menus appear when you access the JasperReports Server using the specific permission assigned to a particular role.
