From an Administrator's and Designer's Perspective

Evotix 360 is powered by the Pentaho Enterprise Edition.

The following section will explain the level of integration between Pentaho and Evotix 360, and also will elaborate on any necessary administrative steps which will be necessary for linking these tools.

Use of Evotix 360 Security Roles

Evotix 360 has it's own set of Security Roles and users, which are used to control access to the Web Application.

All these roles and users will also be applied for the Data Analysis tool. When you log into the BI User Console, it will "know" which roles you have, and apply access accordingly.

This will be the case when you access the BI User Console via Evotix 360, or if you log into the BI User Console directly.

To access Reporting, a User MUST have a Password

When a user is logging into the system will initiate an authentication process with the BI server.

For this process to be successful, and for the user to gain access to reports, it is necessary that a User does have a password defined.

The implication is that the Default User, who does not have a password, will NOT have access to reports.

Having said this:

• Single sign on IS supported. If enabled, eligible users will be automatically logged into the application, and will have access to reporting, as long as the user record in Evotix 360 has a password defined.
• In case of single sign on, this password can be random, and possibly even unknown to the user.
