Extend Role-based access control to data columns

We are facing the need to limit access to certain data columns/fields in LSF Explorer for certain roles.

In our environment a few different teams will make use of the reporting capabilities of LSF Explorer in different scopes. Nevertheless, LSF Explorer is storing sensitive data (e.g. usernames) which are under special attention by local working and privacy laws and agreements in different countries. Hence we have to restrict access to certain sensitive fields to very few persons.


The idea is to do this using several roles (as we are already doing) and to extend the RBAC-mapping with more granularity. So instead of only applying permissions like "report creator" or "report viewer" to roles we would propose to add all data fields to the RBAC settings page to limit or control the data usable for viewing and editing reports.

For the future we can also think of potential use cases to limit access for different users to different reporting capabilities, so this idea is not only limited to user data but to all data fields.


As this is a technical requirement for bringing LSF Explorer in production in a compliant way, there is a huge need and urgency for having this feature implemented.


Please come back for any additional questions or doubts.


Thanks for supporting/considering this RFE as it will support us on using LSF Explorer with our use-cases in a legally compliant way.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time, has been open an extended time without gaining community support or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap. If you would prefer that IBM re-evaluate this decision, please open a new Idea.

    Unfortunately this is not something that is in the near term roadmap. This could be potentially addressed by engaging IBM Lab Services
