Users are experiencing performance issues with WebI (application hanging) when creating WebI reports. The issue is easily re-produced by trying to use the undo functionality, although is not limited to this. The issue is the same in both the Rich Client and the HTML Web App.
However, putting the user in the Administrators group seems to resolve the issue. How can this be linked to security?
Thank You in advance
Hi David,
Try performing the below steps
1)Assign "Download Connection locally" right on the Universe connection to the group to which users belongs.
2)Check if the user has the “View Comments -BI Commentary” rights.
3)Also check if the APS has the Commentary service added.

could there be a complex security model in place ?
Or does your security is based on third party groups , like AD/LDAP/SAP and the CMS is spending too much time calculating access levels ?
You can run the end to end trace and see where the time is being spend and compare it to the trace of the same worlflow with admin group member.

Hi Denis,
Thanks for your comments. The model isn't particularly complex i.e. we are using 1 additional access level on top of the standard ones. AD authentication is in place, but all security groups are defined in CMC. When the user has full control to the folder which is then inherited by the objects, there appears to be no issue. When the user is given the access via the access level to the folder, they can edit the objects (change and resave etc), but undo in particular never responds, and causes the report to hang whilst waiting for a response from the Server. Same behaviour in both Rich Client and browser.
ok. looks like the trace and looking at where time is spent is the way here.
Grant the affected user group view access on the top level security of Servers in CMC.

I've given 'everyone' view on the servers at the top level and it's not changed anything. I think this is linked to the access that users have to the objects they are working on. If I grant 'full control' to objects the issue goes away, however the access level, gives them the ability to edit the object, yet 'undo' for some reason just makes the application hang.
have you granted the access on webi Intelligence application under the applications in CMC?
