API permission with read-only

by default, every user group with "web service access" has full admin rights on the selected report suites. there is no way to reduce the permissions to "read-only" on report suite settings.

improvement:

the "web service access" should only trigger, if a user group is allowed to use the API credentials. the single permissions to read/edit/delete anything within report suites should be based on other permissions (eg. the existing options for user management)

    hi Gigazelle​

    i made some testing together with adobe consultant.

    1) set up new user group with only "web service access" and access to 1 report suite - no other rights!

    2) added a user to this group (user has no other rights than access to user group from 1)

    3) try to add a new prop => successful:

    4) check in RS-Settings => new prop available:

    5) try to disable the new created prop (same request as above, but "enabled" = "false" => successful. Check in RS settings:

    Gigazelle​ i set up a new user group and did NOT check any of those two boxes - only the "web service access". the user in this group was able to change RS Settings!

    When editing permission groups, there are two checkboxes within Analytics Tools:

    Permissions (Read) - Web Services

    Permissions (Write) - Web Services

    These should be exactly what you're looking for.
