That’s very difficult to do. You’d have to include a handful of repository tables in your universe or have a 2nd dataprovider that reads from the repository. Even then it’s difficult to do due to the recursive nature of the repository.

Also remember that a user can be a member of many groups. You’d have to “code” to handle that as well.

What Ecactly you mean by code…? Do you mean logic in at the report level…?

Thanks again…

It could be either in the data provider that Steve explained, or in the report.

Thanks Steve and Dwayne…

Could you tell me which tables in the repository contains the User and UserGroup Info…?

Thanks again…

Look HERE for a discussion on that topic.

Also checkout the universe against the BO Repository.
