Security in Planning Analytics Workspace

[tm123]

Hello,

It looks like the Folder Security / Book Security in PAW has to be specified by user ( instead of User Groups ). Is there a way for configure PAW so that the Security Access to a certain Folder / Book in PAW can be granted for a Group instead of individual users?

The version of PAW we gave is 2.0.41

Thank you

I don't know if it was available in 2.0.41 like you have, but recent releases of PAW definitely have user groups.

Thank you, yes I also came across the link you provided, and but what I cannot find anywhere is if there is a configuration setting that we are missing, or if we have to upgrade to a certain version in order to use Active DIrectory Groups in PAW

I checked the IBM documentation but I could not find any useful information in there

There is an open enhancement request:

Planning Analytics Workspace - Ability to Import Active Directory Groups
We would like to have the ability to import active directory groups into PAW and use them to manage security against PAW objects (books, folders).

I believe workspace groups were introduced in 2.0.42
There is no configuration required to enable it; if you were on a version that included it you would see the options by default.

And as Moby has highlighted, at the moment it is not linked to AD etc. The groups are created and exist just within Workspace.
