## Member-level security

Member-level security (MLS) enables report designers to limit user access to the specific members of groups in business views. By defining which members of a group are available to which users, groups, or roles, report results are created for each user, role and group. When a user accesses a report, JReport checks the user, group and role of the user and merges the data in the report the user is authorized to see and displays it to the user.

Note: JReport Designer does not check member-level security when getting data from business views.
