Hi All,

We have reports scheduled to run daily. We need to implement data security for these scheduled reports based on user group. Consider the below scenario:

Consider we have a Brand Report and user group called Brand Manager.In the group there will be 10 managers for each brand.This report is scheduled to run on daily basis.User may want to see report that ran one week before.When opening the saved/scheduled report,one manager has to see only his brand data not all the 10 brands.Is it possible to implement data security for saved reports? If it is not possible, is there anyway to schedule report based on users in the group?

Regards

Abhi.

Check out bursting.  You can't apply data security to a scheduled report, but bursting can accomplish the same thing.
