About the Security Manager

The Security Manager allows you to create and manage users and groups so as to both enable sharing and restrict access. Using built-in Security Roles, you are able to assign access permissions to groups of users. Known as a Role Based Access Control (RBAC), you can easily enforce access to certain features and functionality within Incorta.

Using the Security Manager

The Super User tenant administrator or any user with the SuperRole or User Manager roles can access the Security Manager and manage users and groups. By default, the Super User (the Tenant Administrator) has the SuperRole. Roles are immutable permission settings that can be applied to groups. You cannot create, edit, or delete a role. As a user with the ability to manage security, you create groups and assign permissions to them using one or more roles. You can assign one or more groups to a user to give them the desired permissions.

Security Role Management

Incorta’s security model is optimistic, meaning that Incorta enforces the least restrictive role permissions and access rights.

Role Based Access Control

Role Based Access Control (RBAC) enforces access to certain features and functionality within the Incorta Analytics Service. There is no direct way to assign a role to a user, with two exceptions:

All users inherit the User role.
A tenant administrator inherits the Super User role unless otherwise configured for the tenant.

In Incorta, a user belongs to zero or more groups, and a group is assigned to zero or more roles.

Note

While RBAC, through permissions, controls access to features and functionality, access rights refer to the individual access to an object. For example: The user Tom gives access rights to Rachel to view a dashboard Tom has created.

Important: User Permissions

Permissions in Incorta are determined by a combination of assigned roles and access rights granted when sharing objects. Together, these factors define the functionalities and features available to users.

For example:

If a user, Joe, belongs only to a group with the User role, which only permits viewing access to the Catalog (Content Manager), and another user, Tom, grants Joe edit rights to a dashboard, Joe can only view the dashboard.
Similarly, if Joe belongs to a group with the Analyze User role, which allows users to manage the Catalog, and Tom grants Joe view access to a dashboard, Joe will be restricted to viewing the dashboard.

Role properties

The following table describes the roles and associated permissions, accessible from the Roles tab in the context menu of the Security Manager:

Role	Role Type	Description
User	User Role	Can view, favorite, apply filters, and create bookmarks in dashboards that are shared with them. Can hide the tab and filter bars when viewing a dashboard. The default role assigned to a user.
Privileged User	User Role	Can share dashboards and folders, and publish dashboards via email and schedules.
Dashboard Analyzer	User Role	Can personalize, share, and publish dashboards via email and schedules.
Individual Analyzer	User Role	Can create and modify dashboards. Can personalize dashboards. Can create and modify folders. Can access Analyzer. Cannot share dashboards or folders.
Analyze User	User Role	Can create and modify dashboards. Can personalize dashboards. Can create and modify folders. Can access Analyzer. Can share dashboards and folders, and publish dashboards via email and schedules.
Schema Manager	Admin Role	Can create and modify schemas, business schemas, data connections and data destinations. Can load data. Can share schemas with other users and groups.
User Manager	Admin Role	Can create and modify groups and users. Can add roles and users to groups.
SuperRole	Super Role	Has full access to all permissions. Note: Users with the SuperRole role or the Super User can view only dashboards and folders that they own or have access rights to.

Note

For a detailed breakdown of Role capabilities, permissions, and content access refer to Security Roles

Important

Users with only the Analyze User or Individual Analyzer roles will have limited access to the Business Schema Manager where they can view a list of business schemas shared with them without the need to be assigned the Schema Manager role. They can only open a shared business schema in the Business Schema Designer view mode, explore its data, export it, and view its description and sharing configurations.

User Manager role improvements

A user that belongs to a group with the User Manager role or other roles other than the SuperRole can no longer manage the assignment of the SuperRole. Now, only a Super User or a user that belongs to a group with the SuperRole can manage the assignment of the SuperRole and perform the following actions:

Assign the SuperRole to a group
Add a user to a group with the SuperRole
Roll back or unassign the SuperRole from a group
Remove a user from a group with the SuperRole
Delete a user that belongs to a group with the SuperRole
Delete a group with the SuperRole

Note

The new implementation will not roll back the SuperRole assignment for existing users or groups to which a User Manager assigned the SuperRole.

Group Management

As a user with security edit access, you are able to create, edit, or delete groups. You assign a group one or more roles from the Edit Group drawer. In addition, you are able to add users to a group through the Edit Group drawer.

Import and synchronize users and groups

Incorta offers two different methods to insert new users and groups, update their details, or update the user-group assignment without the need to add or edit them one by one or to use a command-line interface (CLI). Those two methods are to:

Import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with a physical schema in Incorta
Import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with domain users and groups using LDAP

As a CMC administrator or a Super User, you can access the Security Manager and synchronize users, groups, and their assignments in a domain or an Incorta physical schema. Users and groups you need to synchronize must fulfill the naming convention and other rules (such as the name length) that apply to users and groups in Incorta; otherwise, they will not be synchronized.

Note

By design, the synchronization process continues on failure or error. Thus, if an item (user, group, or relation) fails to synchronize, the process will continue to synchronize other items, if any.

Import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with an Incorta physical schema

Starting with the 5.0.2 release, you can synchronize Incorta users and groups with users and groups that are stored in an Incorta physical schema in the same tenant using the Security Manager.

You can create a .properties configuration file that maps the columns in the physical schema objects to user and group details in the Incorta metadata database. You can also download a template of this file to help you provide the required information. Then, you can upload this file to Incorta and have users, groups, and relations imported to or updated in the metadata database.

Incorta physical schema prerequisites

The physical schema that you can use to synchronize users and groups must have the required details of the users, groups, and their relations or assignments (users’ group membership).

Note

These user and group details can exist in one or more physical schemas, and in one or more objects.

The physical schema(s) must have the following minimal information:

Object	Information	Comments
Users	Login Name	Required Unique
	Email	Required Unique
	Display Name	Required
Groups	Group Name	Required
	Description	Optional

Incorta supports two different modes to define the user-group relations: groups mode and roles mode. Users and groups can have direct relation (groups assignment mode), or they can be related using a common property or attribute, such as the department, location, or job (roles assignment mode). As a result, the assignment details can exist in the physical schema as follows:

A single physical schema object that contains users and their assigned groups
Two physical schema objects; one to define the relation between users and the common attribute and the other to define the relationship between the group and the common attribute.

Important

The .properties file refers to the common attribute as role. Do not mix this up with Incorta Roles.

Note

The relation between users and groups is many-to-many. A group can have multiple users and a user can be a member in multiple groups. Thus, the same user or group can have multiple records or rows in the assignment table(s).

The following table shows the information that must be available in the physical schema in the case of using the groups assignment mode (users and groups are directly related):

Object	Information	Comments
User-group assignment	User	Required
	Group	Required
	Operation	Optional A value that you want to check to either skip a record or to include it in the synchronization process

The following table shows the required information in the case of using the roles assignment mode (users and groups are connected through a common attribute):

Object	Information	Comments
User-property assignment	User	Required
	Attribute	Required
	Operation	Optional A value that you want to check to either skip a record or to include it in the synchronization process
Group-property assignment	Group	Required
	Attribute	Required
	Operation	Optional A value that you want to check to either skip a record or to include it in the synchronization process

Preparing the properties file

You must have a .properties file that maps the physical schema object columns to Incorta user and group details. You can either create the file from scratch or download a template file and update it. You must enter the column fully qualified name in the following format: physical_schema.object.column, for example, securityInfo.users.email.

Here are the steps to download and update the template file:

Sign in to the Incorta Direct Data Platform™ as an Incorta Super User or CMC administrator.
In the Navigation bar, select Security.
In the Context bar, select + New → User Sync.
In the Sync users via a properties file dialog, on the via Incorta Schema tab, select Download a template properties file.
Update the file with the required information and then save it.

The following table shows the contents of the .properties file for the users and groups:

Property	Required	Description
user.login	Yes	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the user login name
user.email	Yes	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the user’s email

group.type	Yes	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the group type, or enter it in the following format: `"Type"`. Valid options are: ● SSO ● Internal ● LDAP ● Azure_AD

The following table shows the contents of the .properties file that you must provide in the case of using the groups assignment mode:

Property	Required	Description
user-group.group	Yes	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the group name or the group’s unique identifier in the user-group assignment table
user-group.user	Yes	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the user name or the user’s unique identifier in the user-group assignment table
user-group.operation	No	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the operation column in the user-group assignment table
user-group.deleteOperation	No	Enter a value that you want to check against the Operation column in the user-group assignment table. Rows or records with a matched value will be skipped during the synchronization process.

The following table shows the contents of the .properties file that you must define in the case of using the roles assignment mode:

Property	Required	Description
function-roles.function	Yes	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the group name or the group’s unique identifier in the group-role assignment table
function-roles.role	Yes	Enter the fully qualified name of the column that maps to the role name or the role’s unique identifier in the group-role assignment table

assignmentMode	Yes	Define the assignment mode: `groups` or `roles`

Import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with an Incorta physical schema

Here are the steps to import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with users and groups in a physical schema using the .properties file that you have prepared:

Sign in to the Incorta Direct Data Platform™ as an Incorta Super User or CMC administrator.
In the Navigation bar, select Security.
In the Context bar, select + New → User Sync.
In the Sync users via a properties file dialog, on the via Incorta Schema tab, select Upload file, and then select the .properties file you have prepared.
- If you want to select another file, select Delete (trash can icon) next to the selected file name, and then select Upload file again to select the file you want.
Select Execute.

Note

If the file you provide does not have all the required information, an error message appears after executing the synchronization process denoting the missing or wrong information.

Review the synchronization report

In the case of a successful synchronization process, only a message will denote that the synchronization is successful. However, if the synchronization partially fails, the confirmation message will show the number of synchronized items and the number of failed ones. There will be a link to show the details of failed items. Select the link and review the list of failed items with the related error. You can copy the details of failed items to the Clipboard to save them.

Import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with domain users and groups

The Security Manager allows you to import and synchronize domain users and groups with Incorta using the LDAP protocol. As a CMC administrator or a Super User, you can access the Security Manager and synchronize domain users, groups, and their assignments without the need to use a CLI tool.

You can create a .properties configuration file that maps the LDAP attributes to user and group details in the Incorta metadata database. You can also download a template of this file to help you provide the required information. Then, you can upload this file to Incorta and have users and groups imported to or updated in the metadata database.

There is a report that shows the status of the synchronization process, whether succeeded or failed. You can view a detailed report and download it as well. For successful completion, you will have a list of newly added and updated items. In the case that there are failed items, the status report shows them as well.

As a result of a successful synchronization process, both the SYNC_DIRECTORY_RESULT and SYNC_DIRECTORY_ITEMS tables in the metadata database will be updated.

A new record will be available in the SYNC_DIRECTORY_RESULT table with the details of the latest run.
The SYNC_DIRECTORY_ITEMS will have new records for the new, updated, and failed items, whether users, groups, or assignments (relations). Each record will have the ID of the run to allow tracking. In the case of failed items, the reason will be available.

Prepare for the LDAP synchronization

You need to have a .properties file that maps the LDAP attributes to Incorta user and group details. You can either create the file from scratch or download a template file and update it.

Here are the steps to download and update the template file:

Sign in to the Incorta Direct Data Platform™ as an Incorta Super User or CMC administrator.
In the Navigation bar, select Security.
In the Context bar, select + New → User Sync.
In the Sync users via a properties file dialog, select the via LDAP Directory tab.
Select Download a template LDAP configuration file to download a template of the .properties file.
Update the file with the required information and then save it.

The following table shows the contents of the .properties file:

Property	Required	Description
ldap.base.provider.url	Yes	The LDAP server URL, for example, `ldap://ldap.mycompany.com`
ldap.base.dn	Yes	The base domain name (Base DN) that is the root where the LDAP protocol will start searching for users in the directory service, for example, `dc=ldap,dc=company,dc=com`
ldap.user.dn	Yes	The username of a user that has access to the LDAP server to fetch user data from it
ldap.user.dn.password	Yes	The password of the user to authenticate to the LDAP server
ldap.user.mapping.login	No	The attribute in the LDAP server user object that maps to the user’s login name in Incorta
ldap.user.mapping.name	No	The attribute in the LDAP server user object that maps to the user’s name in Incorta
ldap.user.mapping.mail	No	The attribute in the LDAP server user object that maps to the user’s email address in Incorta
ldap.group.mapping.name	No	The attribute in the LDAP server group object that maps to the group name in Incorta
ldap.group.mapping.member	No	The attribute in the LDAP server group object that maps to the list of users that exist in the group
ldap.user.search.filter	No	An LDAP query to filter users
ldap.group.search.filter	No	An LDAP query to filter groups
user.type	No	The user authentication type. Possible values are the following: ● Internal (authentication by Incorta) ● sso ● ldap The default value is ldap. Note that this must match the Authentication Type in the Tenant Configurations to allow authenticating the user when signing in.
ldap.follow.referral	No	If you have your entire directory on one domain controller, set this property to `false`, which is the default value. If your domain has a partitioned directory that is distributed among multiple domain controllers, you can set this option to `true` to indicate that the contacted domain controller (LDAP server) may not have the user and group objects you need. In such a case, the contacted domain controller will reply with another location (LDAP server URL) that is likely to have these objects, which is a process that may result in slower LDAP queries.

Import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with LDAP domain users and groups

Here are the steps to import and synchronize Incorta users and groups with domain users and groups using the .properties file that you have prepared:

Sign in to the Incorta Direct Data Platform™ as an Incorta Super User or CMC administrator.
In the Navigation bar, select Security.
In the Context bar, select + New → User Sync.
In the Sync users via a properties file dialog, select the via LDAP Directory tab.
Select Upload file, and then select the .properties file you have prepared.
- If you want to select another file, select Delete (trash can icon) next to the selected file name, and then select Upload file again to select the file you want.
Select Execute.

Note

If the file you provide does not have all the required information, an error message appears when you upload the file denoting the missing or wrong information.

Review and download the synchronization report

After uploading the file and starting the synchronization, a message appears denoting the synchronization process. When the process is completed, the message shows the result.
In the message, select See details.
In the dialog, review the synchronization result.
- For successful synchronization, a list of synchronized items is displayed.
- For synchronization with errors, a list of these errors is displayed.
To download the report in a .csv file format, select Download Sync Status Report.

The LDAP Sync Report shows all synchronized items, their type (user, group, or relation), their import status (created, updated, or failed), and the error in the case of failed items.

User API Key Enablement

Only a Super User can manage API Key access for groups and users. You can enable or disable API Key Generation, for the Incorta Public API, for one or more users from the Users tab. Users will still need to generate their individual API key once access has been granted.

The following are the steps to enable or disable API Key generation for users:

As an Incorta Super User, sign into the Incorta Direct Data Platform™.
In the Navigation bar, select Security.
In the Action bar, select Users.
Select the checkbox next to each user for which you would like to enable/disable API key generation.
From the more options menu (⋮ vertical ellipsis icon), select Enable/Disable API Key Generation.

Delete a user

When you delete a user, Incorta will inform you of what content they have created and have ownership of. The content must either be deleted or ownership transferred to another user. You cannot delete more than one user at a time and a user cannot delete their own account.

The following are the steps to delete a user:

In the Navigation bar, select Security.
In the Context bar, select Users.
Select the desired user.
Select delete (trash icon).
In Check:
- Incorta will inform you if the selected user owns content.
- If the user owns no content:
  - You can select Next and proceed to Confirm.
- If the user owns content:
  - Incorta will list the quantity of each type of entity the user owns.
  - You must select one of the following options:
    - Delete the entities owned by the user.
    - Or, transfer ownership to the current/another user.
In Transfer:
- Select if sharing permissions, sharing access rights, are transferred to the new owner.
- Select to transfer to the current user or another user.
- When you select Next, the ownership transfer is completed immediately.
In Confirm:
- Select Delete.

Additional Considerations

A user that inherits the SuperRole has the ability to impersonate a user. The Super User is able to use the Login As feature to impersonate another Incorta user. You can access the feature from the Edit User drawer. Once active, you will be restricted to the same permission and shared access as the impersonated user. Any changes you make to the user’s content or user settings will be reflected in the user’s account. To return to your Super User account, select Switch Back from the profile menu in the top right corner of the Action bar.

An impersonated user receives an email notifying them of their impersonation. However, this requires SMTP configuration for the Incorta Cluster.

To limit the possibility of unwanted user impersonation, Incorta strongly encourages that security administrators limit the number of users that inherit the SuperRole as well as configure SMTP for the Incorta Cluster.

To learn more about SMTP configuration, please review configure SMTP .
