Enable pa_dashboard records in scoped applications

When application administration is enabled for a scoped application, access control list (ACL) rules for the scoped application are applied. To allow your scope to use the ACLs defined on the [pa_dashboards] table but out of your scoped app, inherit the [pa_dashboards] ACLs.

Before you begin

Role required: admin.

Scope required: the scope of your application.

Procedure

  1. Set the system property glide.security.scoped_administration.honor_global_acl to true.

    Often this property is already set to true, so additional update is not necessary. For more information, see Add a system property.

  2. Switch the scope to the scope that the dashboard is created in.

    The user should be that scope's application administrator.

  3. Navigate to sys_scoped_admin_acl_inheritance_list.do.

  4. Create a record for the PA Dashboards [pa_dashboards] table and select Submit.

  5. Create a record for each of these tables:

    • Portal Page [sys_portal_page]
    • Tabs [pa_tabs]
    • Dashboard Permissions [pa_dashboards_permissions]
    • If multiple reports have the same issue, create a record for each of these tables:

    • Reports [sys_report]

    • Report Users and Groups [sys_report_users_groups]
