Using usergroup access to protect sites in Smartsite.ManagementInformation.config.

If you have several subsites defined in Smartsite.ManagementInformation.config, by default, everyone that has access to the Smi reports is able to view all the sites listed in Smartsite.ManagementInformation.config. If you have an organisation where not everyone is allowed to view the Smi reports of all sites because e.g. some Smi sites are containing data from different departments, you can restrict access to each Smi site defined in Smartsite.ManagementInformation.config.

You can restrict access by using the <security /> element under the <site /> element in Smartsite.ManagementInformation.config. This <security /> element has the attribute "usergroups" which is a comma separated list of usergroup codes. Only users that are a member of one of these usergroups are allowed to view reports of that Smi site.
