Security settings:

RT Manager supports Roles based permissions. You can create Roles, assign permissions to them and assign users to roles.

One user can be a member of more than one role and the permissions will be combined. Role's permissions have 3 possible values:

1.Unknown

2.Allowed

3.Denied

When combining the logic is:

Unknown & Allowed = Allowed

Unknown & Denied = Denied

Allowed & Denied = Denied

Unknown & Unknown = Denied

Using Denied option directly is overwriting any other permission and is not recommended since denial from one role may overwrite allowance from another and may cause confusions. However, in some scenarios this option might be useful when you want to use an existing role and deny certain permissions by combining it with another role created just to modify the first one. For example, you can create a role Accounting and allow this role to access all reports for accounting and add a role  Contractor and deny access to reports showing SSN and other personal information

RT Report Manager supports 4 security modes:

1.No security: The user will be still identified, but role permissions will be not applied and everybody will be able to do everything

2.Windows integrated: User will be identified using Windows login. If there is a RT user with login name matching the login name of the user currently logged in in Windows, it will be used and password screen will be not shown. If the current Windows user is not presented in RT Manager, password screen will be show so the user can be identified. In case your RT Manager is configured to use this option and you want to login to RT Manager as another user (different than the current Windows user), when starting RT Manager press and keep Shift key down. RT manager will show the password screen and you will be able o insert user name and password.

3.Normal Security: Password screen is aways shown

4.Active directory: Before using this option, you need to set username and password that you can use to manage security. “BuiltIn Administrator” can be used too. Make sure you know the password before to select this option. After selecting the option, restart RT Manager, navigate to Roles screen. There will be a new Tab allowing you to select Active Directory Groups assigned to the role. Members of the active directory groups will be internally assigned to the RT Manager roles and will use their permissions.
