Set Alias Dialog Box Properties
This topic describes how you can use the Set Alias dialog box to set an alias resource tree for the specified role, group, or user.
Select Set Role Alias, Set Group Alias, or Set User Alias after navigating to the Administration > Security > Alias page on the Server Console. Logi Report Server displays the Set Alias dialog box.
The dialog box includes two phases, one for selecting a role/group/user and the other for defining the alias tree.

- An alias tree is based on the resource nodes (not virtual resource nodes) of the resource tree.
- By default, the alias resource tree root for each user refers to the resource tree root.
- When you activate an alias tree for a user, Server then controls all resource access by the alias resource tree.
