Business View Security

Business view security enables report designers to limit user access to elements of the business views in a catalog. After defining users, groups and roles' permissions on the view elements, when a user accesses a report at runtime that involves the view elements, JReport checks the user, group and role of the user and merges the data in the report the user is authorized to see and displays it to the user, thus different report results can be created for different users.

Business view security also applies to new reports end users create on JReport Server using the business views.

Business view security contains two parts:

Data security
It controls whether a user/role/group can access the data of the view elements at runtime. For a group object, you can further allow or deny the access of its specific members to a user/role/group.
Resource security
It controls whether a user/role/group can see the view elements at runtime.
