Hi,

We can hide the Edit Query option for the end user by carrying out the following steps

Click on edit query > go to query properties tab > security > Here DISABLE the check box which says ALLOW OTHER USERS TO EDIT ALL QUERIES.

When you disable this option the end user cannot edit the report.

If both the developer and the user are accessing the file from the same server and if changes are made to the file then it will definitely change in the database as well.

Hope it helps.

Hi Abhishek Ricky,

User is not able to edit report means,you have created a report and is saved under public folder.

You had given access to the universe and connection hence your user's are able to refresh it but i guess you did not give rights to that document (Report) which is in public folder.

While giving rights to the document, there are many items like,Refresh data,save changes,Export file etc.

Out of that you need to give rights to have "modify rights user have to the document" Make sure this is there and user's will be able to edit and save the report.

hi

yes you can put some restrictions to the user through central management console(cmc) by restricting Access rights

First : You can restrict the user from editing the report in infoview by modifying the rights in CMC to the users.

Second : We can only view the data in the reports, but there is no way toupdate the data in database.

Hi,

EDIT in what way????????

Is the edit option is appearing in the InfoView or the user is able to change text values data deletion from the output data.

If Edit button appears means you can restrict it by access rights. that is for that particular user you have to give only View and View on demand rights at the CMC level.

In the second case if the infoview is in the interactive mode the user can delete data, change column and row length etc but one thing you have to notice that he cannot save the file since it is disabled for him if there is any access rights.

Hope this will help you.
