Issue/Introduction
When setting up advanced reporting one would have to setup resources with necessary CA PPM access rights and Jaspersoft roles in order to restrict the resources to PPM report repositories.
One of the important steps after the CA PPM-Jaspersoft integration is to setup advanced reporting access right(s) to existing PPM resources. There is often some questions raised on how to limit users to view reports based on their functional area.
The advanced reporting access rights pretty much work like any other CA PPM access rights. After ensuring that the CA PPM resource is granted necessary CA PPM functional access. The resources would then need a combination of the following to navigate and view reports from the advanced reporting menu link in PPM.
- Advanced reporting access rights in CA PPM
- Jaspersoft roles

2. Set Jaspersoft roles:
The next step would be to run the CA PPM jaspersoft job “Create And Update Japersoft Users” job and set the appropriate Jaspersoft user role to restrict the resource to report repositories.
For instance if the user needs just access to Project Management based reports. Then the Jaspersoft role that would be granted the Jaspersoft role: CSK_ROLE_PROJECT_MANAGEMENT
