Managed Reporting (MR) has many features that enable security integration with your business at the enterprise level. If security integration is not your immediate concern, you can skip this section because Managed Reporting is installed out of the box with its own built-in user repository.

The first step in an enterprise Managed Reporting deployment is to identify roles and responsibilities. It is possible in a large enterprise that there are different people charged with the following roles:

• WebFOCUS Administrator has access to the WebFOCUS Administration Console and can configure global settings including Managed Reporting security, multi-language support, data server access, and so on. You can access the iServer Console from the WebFOCUS Administration Console.
• iServer Administrator has access to the iServer Console and has rights to configure adapter settings and also global settings such as server security. They can also identify and set access rights for other individuals who can use the iServer Console.
• iServer Application Administrator has access to the iServer Console and has rights to create metadata and application resources. For a complete description of this and other iServer privilege levels, consult your Server documentation.
• Managed Reporting Administrator has access to the Managed Reporting Administration interface and can create MR users, groups, domains, and roles. They can also assign Group Administration rights to specified users and define which reports are available to which groups of users.
• Managed Reporting Group Administrator can add and remove users from the groups to which they are granted administration rights, and can create users with some limitations. Group Administrators can also access the View Builder to create and update Group Views for groups they administer.
• Managed Reporting Developer can use the Developer Studio (Windows) and Domain Builder (Java applet) interfaces to create report content for MR domains. This includes Reporting Objects which enable end users to create their own ad-hoc reports. If granted access, these users can create metadata on the server.
• Managed Reporting Users based on their role and privilege settings can create and run reports and access other features such as Report Library.
