Get user role, group

[anjan]

Hello All,

Is there a way to get user role and group in report studio, the role and group are create in cognos admin.

Thanks,

[Bark]

The macro function #CSVIdentityNameList# will give you that information:

I have used it but it gaves lot of other stuff and was not able to find the role name in that list , which user belong to.

The role is create in cognos

It is supposed to return all groups and roles regardless where they were created (just checked in my portal and it performs as expected). Could you provide a specific example?

Thanks and regards,

Bark

Bark,

Where does this macro get used to generate the info?  Is this a Report Studio thing or something else?  I'm primarily a Planning user, but I'm trying to get up to speed on the BI Admin side to support our Planning administration.

Thank you,
Jeff

It can be used in Report Studio or directly in Framework Manager and it should return the groups and roles (among other information) of the user running the report (running the dataItem).
