BO4 - rights required for filter

[former_member272336]

Hi,

We have soem read only report users but wish to give them ability to apply filters to reports.

They can view and refresh currenttly but cannot chnage the values in filters despite having set reporting right apply filters added via CMC.

Do they need another right?

Thanks

Hi,

Go to WEB INTELLIGENCE under Applications,

Click on user security --> Add Principals --> Choose the user and give the below rights

If you want to enable formatting options as well have the below

But the user is just a report consumer, for whom the rights to modify the existing report should not be there, then make sure user does not have the rights to add objects to folder under public folders.

Regards,

Upendra.

Are those filters prompts or report level filters?

If they are just prompts then just assign the View on demand access and then should be able to run the report with changed filter values.. If then are report filters then you will have to set them up as power users to modify them..

Philip,

    Looks like you may have conflict with multiple Access Rights.  Is the user part of multiple Access Rights? 

Did you try a test used using only the ONE Access Rights where you have given permissions to Apply Filter?
