Security levels within a report

Hi,
We have a report developed in Deski and WebI. Is it possible to allow users to access the report but able to view only the information they are allowed to.

For instance:

The complete report looks like…


Total Sales Revenue…

EAST
Q1 ******
Q2 ******
Q3 ******

West
Q1 ******
Q2 ******
Q3 ******

SOUTH
Q1 ******
Q2 ******
Q3 ******

Now when the report is published, is it possible to allow the EAST region users to view only the EAST section of the report and so on… The reason i cannot break the report into 3 separate groups is because there are users who should view the entire report and few should view only restricted information. Another reason is because we have a lot of reports :hb: :hb: which need to satisfy the above requirements…

Please advice on how should i go about it. ??
We are using XIR2 version.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes it’s possible using row level restrictions. You need to implement this within the Xi Designer.

Make a search on that topic on BOB to find useful info.
