How to Deny Export option in Designer for a user or group

security CMC
1

Hi,

Is their any option in CMC where i can deny export option for a user or group on Designer.

I have cross checked the CMC>applications>Designer>Advance Rights>Add or remove Rights>

  • I have not found any such option to deny export to a user or group.

and even checked in access level option in CMC.

also i have checked on universe rights.

Please let me know is there any way of implementation.

Thanks,

You are right!!! there is no way you can restrict a user to export the universe.

Deny the right "Add objects to the folder’ under CMC > Universes rights for the Group.

I’ve got an interesting requirement that, so far, I’ve been unable to nail down with rights.

Here is the requirement. The users are all ‘power-users’, able to create reports but they also need to create universes. There is a \Prod folder for production universes and a \Dev folder for developing universes.

They need to use universes from the \Prod folder to create reports, they should be able to import from the \Prod folder to look at production universes, but only be able to export to the \Dev folder.

I’ve tried ‘Add objects to folders that the user owns’ and even denying ‘Add objects to the folder’, but they still can export to \Prod.

Is it possible to achieve this requirement? If so, any ideas?

Hi Charlie,

To achieve your requirement, add the desired group under the \Prod folder and set the right “Edit Objects” to Not Specified or Denied. This will restrict the users to export the Universe to the \Prod folder.
