Securing the Adapter

There are two types of users associated with the BODS Adapter, 

 and 

. You maintain 

definitions for both types of users from the 

 pane.



Runtime Users

Runtime users in the context of BODS jobs represent those users and passwords required for authentication. 
BusinessObjects Data Service operations require authentication against a valid BODS user as defined by a 
BusinessObjects Data Services administrator. You can also use runtime users to override data source logons used 
by your reports.



Schedulers

Schedulers are those users who will define and/or manage BODS jobs. There are three aspects of a user profile that 
grant and/or limit access to scheduling jobs that affect BODS:

Security policy that grants or denies add, edit, delete and view capabilities for BODS jobs.

Authorized runtime user list that grants or denies access to specific authentication accounts for use with BODS 
jobs.

Authorized agent list that grants or denies access to specific BODS Adapter connections for use when defining 
BODS jobs.

Defining Runtime Users

From the 

 pane, expand the 

 node and select 

 to display the defined 

users.

Right-click
