Abstract
The technology disclosed preserves the tenant specificity and user specificity of the tenant data by associating user IDs to complementary special IDs referred to as the integration user(s). In particular, it combines the traceability of user actions, the integration of security models and the flexibility of a service ID into one integration user(s).
Claims12
A computer-implemented method of controlling and tracking usage of an analytic data analysis system associated with a transactional data management system, the method including:
- a transactional data management system receiving a logon request with an associated user ID for use of the transactional data management system, authenticating the logon request, and identifying that authorizations associated with the user ID include usage of the analytical data analysis system;
- and
- responsive to a request to use the analytical data analysis system with the user ID, invoking a complementary special ID linked to the user ID, wherein
- the special ID grants rights related to a specific analytic data analysis system;
- the special ID rights provide read-only access to at least one analytic data store accessed through the specific analytic data analysis system;
- and
- use of the special ID is separately licensed and accounted for from the user ID.
An apparatus to control and track usage of an analytic data analysis system associated with a transactional data management system, the apparatus comprising:
- a computer including a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes computer program instructions causing the computer to implement a process including:
- a transactional data management system receiving a logon request with an associated user ID for use of the transactional data management system, authenticating the logon request, and identifying that authorizations associated with the user ID include usage of the analytical data analysis system;
- and
- responsive to a request to use the analytical data analysis system with the user ID, invoking a complementary special ID linked to the user ID, wherein
- the special ID grants rights related to a specific analytic data analysis system;
- the special ID rights provide read-only access to at least one analytic data store accessed through the specific analytic data analysis system;
- and
- use of the special ID is separately licensed and accounted for from the user ID.
A tangible computer-readable memory including computer program instructions that cause a computer to implement a process including:
- a transactional data management system receiving a logon request with an associated user ID for use of the transactional data management system, authenticating the logon request, and identifying that authorizations associated with the user ID include usage of the analytical data analysis system;
- and
- responsive to a request to use the analytical data analysis system with the user ID, invoking a complementary special ID linked to the user ID, wherein
- the special ID grants rights related to a specific analytic data analysis system;
- the special ID rights provide read-only access to at least one analytic data store accessed through the specific analytic data analysis system;
- and
- use of the special ID is separately licensed and accounted for from the user ID.
