If you
are unrestricted, an
Advanced button on each
item's
Authorization tab provides access
to the
Inheritance tab. On this tab, you
can trace the current item's parents.
The
Inheritance tab displays a tree of items, organized
by their security relationships. The first item in the tree is always
the current item. If the current item has an immediate parent other
than the repository ACT, you can expand the first node in the tree
to see those parents. You can continue expanding nodes to further
trace the inheritance. The repository-level parent (the repository
ACT
![repository ACT](images/repository_act.gif)
) is not displayed in the tree.
Tip
When you move
from the
Folders tab to the
Inheritance tab, there is a shift in orientation. On the
Folders tab, you expand parent nodes in order to get to an item that you
are interested in. On the
Inheritance tab,
you begin with the item that you are interested in and expand nodes
to move up that item's inheritance path.
These
examples describe how the
Inheritance tab
displays inheritance paths:
-
Each user, group, role, ACT, and
application server inherits only from the repository ACT. On the
Inheritance tab for any of these items, only the item
itself is listed.
-
Each BI content item (such as a
report, information map, folder, or stored process) inherits from
one immediate parent. On the
Inheritance tab
for each of these items, there is one expandable node immediately
below the item.
