WebI Design Mode disabled when accessed from BI Launchpad Applications

[Former Member]

I am running BI 4.1 and everything seems to be enabled when I log in to BI launchpad using administrator credentials but when I log in as a super user user, by default, Design mode and some of the other options are disabled. I have tried almost everything but am not able to figure this out. I need the super user account to be able to design reports in WebI, and save and distribute them.

Hi Rohit,

Make sure you have granted appropriate rights for the user on Web Intelligence Application, Connection and Universe.

Veer,

I am not using a universe but a BICS connection to a BEx query. Where do I assign proper user right in the Web Application?

Hi Rohit,

Please follow below mentioned steps :

1. In CMC go to Application

2. Right Click on Webi Rich Client -> Select User Security.

3. In user security give full control for user/user group.

If you would like to give more Edit Rights to users please follow above mentioned steps for Connection and Universe in CMC.

For Connection and Universe you can go to Manage -> Top Level Security to grant permissions.

Hope this will help..!!!
