hi all,

i need to change users privileges without use iServer.
I'd do this in a java class or in a birt report.

How can i do this?

Hi Giuseppe, 
 
It sounds like you are aware of the <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/wiki/Overview_-_Page_Level_Security/'>Page Level Security</a> feature available with Actuate BIRT Designer. To get similar functionality, you could make use of BIRT parameters... and then the visibility properties of various BIRT elements like tables, columns, etc. This way, you pass in the user credentials, or a user role, and make decisions on what you want to show. You can use the visibility property, scripting, or pass the credentials into the database connection. If you have a Java class for data, you can also pass along the user credentials to restrict the data there if you like.

Hi vdodson,

I have a different problem to solve.

I don't want a functionality like Page Level Security, but I need to change users privileges to a file or folder in actuate iServer without use iServer.

In previous release of Actuate I can do this with EGCLIENT, but in Actuate10 EGCLIENT doesn't exist.

You can change the permissions for a file or folder with the web services API for the iServer called the Actuate Information Delivery API (IDAPI)
