Hello,
I am having a few issues with access to folders and reports.
I am almost fine with my own account access - changing it the way I want as an administrator but I want to apply the security for others, basically restricting folder and report access.
Ideally a user should only see folders they have access to, like these two folders logged in as TEST user:
The TEST user is a member of two groups, "Everyone" has no access to any folders, KDR_STARTERS_IV group has access to the above folders:
So, the above is working fine.
Now, with my own access:
I am a member of "Everyone" (no access to folders or reports) and another third group "TRAMCO\dl-business" (not a member of another group). Folders are organised to be accessed by specific groups and TRAMCO\dl-business has "View On Demand (Inherited)" type of access to folders, which I can't remove.
I am temporarily taking away access from myself to any group to test, so that I only belong to "Everyone" and "TRAMCO\dl-business". When I log on, I can see all folders, which is not right but I don't know exactly how "View On Demand (Inherited)" works.
However, when I try to run a report, I get an error, which I expect:
Which is good. Now, another user with identical settings, belonging to the same groups ("Everyone" and "TRAMCO\dl-business"), CAN run this WEBI report. This where I am lost completely. I am experimenting with my own account to restrict users' access but not winning.
I need to sort out, why I can't restrict users' ability to VIEW folders (unlike TEST user) but it's a lower priority.
Some urgent help would be appreciated to resolve this security issue.
I am happy to provide more screenshots and information.
