Resolution

The group permissions within WebStatistica are discussed below:

SWS_USER : As established before, this is a minimum requirement for users to be able to login to WebStatistica.

SWS_PORTAL  and SWS_PORTALINTERACTIVE:  If a user is a member of these groups they will be licensed as a Knowledge Portal user. Upon accessing the Statistica Server (Server side), these users will be directed to a simplified interface where they can view output pages published to the Portal directory in the Repository Root. The user will see all files that were added to the portal via the the publish button at the bottom of every analysis run in WebStatistica or files uploaded explicitly to the portal.  The members of this group will only see everything that was published to the Portal.
