Report Manager (ERM) allows you to control who has access to what information via the reporting system.

• Uses roles in Enterprise Authorisation Manager.
• Permissions are granted per report and against data items.

Potentially, thousands of users in an institution will wish to access timetable information via ERM. Rather than adding all of these as individual users, they can be described in terms of a role or roles. One such role might be "Student". Others might be "Academic Staff" or "Head of Department".

Each role may be given permission to see a specified list of reports. For example, students would not be allowed to view staff timetables whereas academic staff would, academic staff would not be allowed to see staff cost reports, whereas heads of departments would.

Permissions may also be given at the data level so that heads of departments might access reports only against staff in their own department.
