Title: View burst report output version
Post by: Ammus1234 on 06 Jan 2014 02:55:40 AM
Dear All,

I have created a burst report for directory entries based on user's camid. Now the output can be viewed only by the particular user or the system admin.
Is it possible to give access to another user to view this output, other than system admin.
I can't use the camid of a group, because each report in the output is assigned to a particular user.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The only way you can do this is to burst to camids of groups. That way anyone who belongs to the group can view the output. If you burst to user camids then the output is visible to only that user. The System Administrator can see it also because System Admin rights override all security. You can't allocate these rights to others, though, as this would be a) very dangerous and b) would break your license agreement with IBM.

Cheers!

MF.

Thanks MFGF.
Yes it is not possible to give sys admin rights to everybody.
Also burst to group is not possible in this case as each report output has specific security.
I don't think there is an easy solution for this for the moment.
