Section Access

Hi,

i am trying to add section access to my script, but for some reason cannot get it working.

Here is what i am doing:

- i created a section access table

Star is *;

section access;

ACCESS_R:

LOAD * inline [

ACCESS, USERID, GROUP, REDUCTION

USER, *, SALES - UK, UK

USER, *, SALES - FRANCE, FRANCE

USER, *, SALES - IBERIA, IBERIA

USER, *, SALES - INDIA, INDIA

USER, *, SALES - APAC, APAC

USER, *, SALES, *

USER, *, SALES, GLOBAL

USER, INTERNAL\SA_SCHEDULER, *, *

ADMIN, INTERNAL\MYSELF, *, *

];

section application;

- have a link table connecting section access and the rest of my data model.

When i am opening the app, i can see all - because i have set up myself as ADMIN (this seems to be working in 2.0 now...) i assume. However, no member of any of the SALES groups i am listing in the GROUP section can open the app (access denied). Any idea what i might be doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance!

You have only 2 Users on your section Acess. The star (*) means everyone on this list, so only you and the scheduler are seeing things, try putting the users

The idea i had in mind was to set up a rule like "Everyone (--> *) in group SALES-FRANCE = data reduced by REDUCTION = FRANCE".

Isnt this something one can do ? Do i really have to list each and every user by name ?
