BI Security Manager for Documents 
Use
The BI Security Manager for documents protects and controls access to BI documents in Knowledge Management.
Features
The BI Security Manager for documents ensures secure access to documents in the portal by creating a connection to the BI system and checking the user access authorizations in the back end. This means that you do not need to maintain any additional authorization in KM and can ensure that users in KM can only display documents for which they have authorization.
The
authorization checks performed by the BI Security Manager for documents can
reduce system performance.
The standard ACL Security Manager is faster in terms of performance, but is inappropriate as it requires that the authorizations in the portal and in the BI system are maintained twice.
If you only want to use documents within BI applications you do not need a security manager. In the dropdown box, choose the Not Set entry.
In KM you
are using an iView for the document search. There are 20 documents in your BI
system, ten of these however contain confidential information that should not
be accessed by all users. If you choose the BI Security Manager for documents
for the CM repository, authorization checks are performed for all 20
documents. If users do not have authorization for the ten confidential
documents, they are denied access to these documents and can only display the
ten documents without confidential information in KM.
