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.

Selecting a Role/Group/User

Role Name/Group Name/User Name

Server lists the roles, groups, or users for which you can set an alias resource tree. Select one from the list.

Description

Information about the roles, groups, or users.

Next

Select to define the alias tree.

Cancel

Select to close the dialog box without saving any changes.

Defining the Alias Tree

Remove

When you select New to create a new alias folder, the default name for the new alias folder is newAlias.

• 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.
