Recipient Section Access - NP Nov 2020

[JustinDallas]

Hello Folks,

I'm working with NPrinting November 2020.  We have a dashboard that has Section Access in place which limits what data the users can see.  Is there a way to have NPrinting run with the Section Access of the intended recipient, so that the NPrinting reports don't show a bunch of irrelevant data?

Scenario:

John's Section Access restricts the dashboard to UK businesses

Barney's Section Access restricts the dashboard to US businesses

When creating an NPrinting report/task, how do I make it so that the individual report going to John is UK restricted, and Barney's is US restricted.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe I can use the setting found under Identity in the Connections section where it says:

"Apply user section access for reports"

Check the following load script.

This contains the NPrinting Engine service user account (domain\npsensesvc) for an internal deployment of NPrinting.

section access;
LOAD * inline [
ACCESS, USERID, REDUCTION
ADMIN, domain\npsensesvc, *
USER, domain\user1, 1
USER, domain\user2, 2
ADMIN, domain\administrator, 4
];

section application;

// The following format is required for the service account user only
// ADMIN, domain\npsensesvc, *

star is *;
LOAD * inline [
REDUCTION, Year
1, 2019
2, 2020
3, 2021    
4, *
];

The NP engine service account impersonates each user and applies respective section access permissions accordingly. But it must be part of the load script.

Hope this helps...
