Hi Varun,

Are you talking about universe objects access level?

If this is the case then the access level defines the object level of confidentiality (listed in increasing order of confidentiality):

• Public (the default value and the least confidential)
• Controlled
• Restricted
• Confidential
• Private (the most confidential)

To consume the access level you need to publish your universe in a CMS repository. These access levels are similar to the ones you can set to users and groups in the CMC.

Hi Varun,

A user can see only objects of the universe whose access levels are lower than or equal to his own access level.

For instance, a user who has been assigned the Controlled access level for a universe can see only Public and Controlled objects of this universe.

If an object is denied through an object access level, it means two things:

• In the query panel, this object is not exposed.
• A query containing this object won't run. The user can edit the query to remove the object and run the query again.

Hi Didier,

Thanks for your response. So once we set these  access levels in IDT again we need to give permissions in CMC to user groups ?

correct me if i am wrong?

Thanks,
