object security restrictions in universe

We have 2 universes that are basically identical except that they are used by different users and a lot of the objects are different (possibly also different naming for the same object - not sure about that yet).
Do I need to keep 2 different universes or can I have only one and somehow restrict access to certain objects ?

Hi,

You can set in universe overrides which objects or classes of objects are hidden to a user or a group of users.

This is done in Supervisor in BO 6.5 and below and in BO XI it’s done in Designer.

Ok sounds good.How do you exactly do that in BO XI R2?

Start here. In future, do search first. Thanks!

Sens,

Have a look at Designer menu Tools >> Manage Security.

And read about how to use it in the Designer’s guide.
