Hello,

As with almost any other source, you can use a ODBC entry in your system providing the username and password required to be granted access. If you don't know them you will not be able to open the file, as it would happen if you don't know your database user and password.

Hope that helps.

Hello Koushik,

Yes it's possible. I'd use section access for that, so depending on the user that is logging, some charts will or will not be displayed, or event entire sheets.

The idea, if you have several (say two dozens) users or more is create groups (in an external excel sheet, or in a table in the database, or a QVD file...) so the script is easy to modify, and use their membership in the conditional show using the Layout tab of the objects. A very basic example would be

Section Access; LOAD * INLINE [ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, GROUPADMIN, ADMIN, ADMINUSER, USER1, U1, SALESUSER, USER2, U2, HRUSER, USER3, U3, IT]; Section Application;


Now in the layout conditional, say you want the object to be displayed to HR and IT members

MATCH(GROUP, 'IT', 'HR') > 0


In case the user logged onto the document is USER1, this chart will not be visible.

Anyway, I'd group objects in sheets to show or display the whole sheet, instead of setting the conditional chart by chart.

Hope that helps.

Dear Miguel,

If you have a demo of object level security please send me.

And for the above HR,IT example please send me a demo

where you can hide a chart and make visible depending on

user or group.

Waiting for your fast response.

Thanks & Regards,

Deep.

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't have time enough to create that application. Anyway I will not work, because I don't know your users, and the string to match must be the exact DOMAIN\UserName.

You should be able to do it yourself with the code I provided you above and the suggestions by the other users.

Regards.
