Manipulate ReportDesign at runtime

Rainer

Hi all,

for some reason I have to add users security role as a property to some reports. Iam using re api to extract and show parameters and later execute reports in my own application. In my special case I have to inject users role into report design file before creating ParameterDefinitionTask. My solution is to put user role into AppContext and evaluate this role to filter report parameters. I think it would be better to set some global variable at runtime, but Iam not able to get ReportContext object using re api. I dont know when reportContext is created and if theres a way to get this Object after creation from api.

If theres a better way to secure reports partly please let me know

Thanks in advance

Rainer,

From a report design you can always get session if you are using the viewer or setting the http session with the re api. I assume you are putting the everything in the appcontext currently?
