Viewing a report with page-level security

Since the control of report access is not possible without a user ID, the significance of this function is only apparent after reports have been published to JReport Enterprise Server and other users access it.

When a client views a report with page-level security in JReport Enterprise Server, the corresponding groups will be displayed according to the SID. You can also advanced run reports with page-level security in different formats, including DHTML, HTML, PDF, TEXT, Excel, PS, XML and Rich Text Format (this feature does not support the RST and Applet formats).

To view a report with page-level security in JReport Enterprise Server, the report must first be published to the server from JReport Designer. For example, if in JReport Designer, the security for a report that is grouped by the Customer_Region field has been set as below:

• The user ID admin has the privilege to view the CA and MN groups of the report.
• The user ID jennifer has the privilege to view the BC group of the report.

Then,

1. Access the JReport Console page via a web browser with the user ID admin.
2. Browse to the report set that you are going to view.
3. Click the report set name, and you will then be able to view the CA and MN groups of the report in separate pages.
4. If you log onto JReport Enterprise Server with the user ID jennifer, you will then only be able to view the BC group.
