Add Service User in the Reporting Only Role

You might have individuals in your company or organization for whom you want to assign in a
Web Security Service
 Report User role. These users have access to the
Dashboard
 and
Report Center
 links, but they do
not
 have access to policy controls (the
Policy
 links do not display).
These users might include HR personnel who are responsible for monitoring the acceptable web use standards set by your company.

Optional Step—Apply Report Filters
WSS
 allows Admin Users to create additional Report Users and limit their access to report data based on their role within the organization. For example, you have a Human Resource employee who is tasked with tracking web use of employees who belong to a specific group, so you create a filter for location, subnet, or other criteria. Furthermore, you can limit the type of data that displays in reports. For example, the HR employee is not concerned with port or client IP address values, so you remove those fields from the role.
  1. n the
    Account Configuration > Administrators
     page, expand the
    Report Filters
     area.
  2. Click
    Add Filter
    . The service displays the Add Filter dialog.
