BI Launch Pad : hide WebI application icon ?

[Former Member]

Hello !

Is there a solution to hide WebI icon on home page of "BI Launch pad", in

"My applications" area, for users having only right to view/refresh docs ?

We don't want them to be able to start Webi applet since they don't have rights to create or modify a report.

Is it possible ? How ?

I have tested many combinations of rights and I don't find any solution.

Thanks,

Regards,

Hi Steve,

I would recommend you to perform the following steps:

1. Login to CMC with an Administrator account.

2. Navigate to Applications >> Web Intelligence >> Right Click >> User security

3. Add/Select the corresponding User or a group for which you want to restrict the access from the Add principal list.

4. Go to Assign Security >> Adavanced Tab >> Add/remove rights

5. Deny the right "Logon to Web intelligence" and click on Ok.

Test the issue again and I hope it resolves your query.

Hi Nakul !

Thanks for your answer.

Sorry for the delay to reply.

I've tested your solution. WebI icon is not displayed but...

When I click on a report on which my user has "full control" (folder & report), and my user having all rights on WebI application except "login", I've got the "eternal blue moving gauge" like when WebI applet is starting.

(It ends with a session timeout error).

Any idea ?

Steve.

Hi Nakul,

additionally i have one more how to disable "Help Menu" from Header panel in BI launch pad.

Thanks

Hi Krishna,

I believe you can disable the Explorer the same way. Alternatively you could also create a BI workspace without the application list, you set the BI workspace to be the custom homepage for a particular user group.

It is not possible to remove the help link.
