Title: Security on a Drill Through report
Post by: terry_stjean on 24 Jun 2014 11:39:43 AM
I have a cube with 3 Drill through reports.
I know I can add security in Framework Mgr to limit the data the user sees when running the report.
Is it possible to add security somehow to limit which reports they can run.
One of the reports is a Financial report and I only want the Finance group to be able to run it.
For non-Finance users, I only want them to see the other 2 reports.

Can this be done?

Yes - this ought to be easy. Simply define permissions on the target reports to dictate their accessibility - eg one user or group will have traverse, read and execute privileges to a report and another user or group will have no privileges.
