We have a dashboard that offers drill down into a webi report. I have a group of users that I would like to use the Dashboard but not have access to the drill down Webi Report. Currently I just deny that group of users access to the report so although they can click to drill through to the report it presents them with an error when the do. What I would like to do would be to disable the url button for these users so they could click but it does nothing.
Does anybody know if this is possible or have a similar requirment and has implemented a different solution
We use an in-house application that controls security. I create a standard dashboard XML connection to query this application. If the user is on a list of “approved users” for this dashboard (or any dashboard/application), the query returns “AUTHORISED” and I set the visibility of a button based on this result. So authorised users can see and/or click through to more data and unauthorised users don’t even know what they are missing!
