Disable Drag and Drop for Report Folders

Description

We have had issues with permissions when a report folder is accidently moved by dragging and dropping to another folder.  When the folder is moved back it retains the permissions from the place it was moved to.  This allows users to see information that they should not have access to.  We have also had people move reports between folder without even realizing.

We need to have the ability to disable drag and drop of report/report folders or at the very least have a message display to have the user confirm that they really want to move the report or the folder.

Use Case and Business Need

This could create security risks if it is too easy to move reports and folders.

  • It is just too easy to move files and there is no warning that this happened. Anyone having write access to a folder has probably encountered this at least once. A popup confirmation message would be very nice. We have advised the whole reporting team to just not user drag and drop at all to build a habit.

  • I couldn't agree more. Sorely needed functionality that maybe admin can turn on/off.  

  • We definitely need functionality to prevent drag and drop or a warning/pop message even if the folder is accidentally dropped.

  • This has happened to us several times. A warning message would be ideal for us.

  • Have had issues with this feature before with a developer moving whole folders, definitely a useful to disable

  • I couldn't agree more. We suffered a lot in our Internal Project because of this.

    This would be great if this was disabled. It leads to too many accidental drag and drops.

  • This has caused multiple problems for us as well including processes not running; notifications not being issued and interfaces not working

  • if feasible then team should work on pop up message when any movement of file/folder take place or any email notification when any movement of folder/file take place especially in  production instance

    this would prevent accidental drag and drop

  • Agree. At the very least, an 'Are you sure?' pop up would prevent many mistakes. In my experience 9 out of 10 times the drag and drop was unintentional and causes more issues that is solves.

  • This has happened to us many times. A pop-up message would be ideal for us.

  • Need this

  • At least the application has to prompt Yes or no before copying to the target location.

  • A pop up message should show even if the folder is accidentally dropped.

  • It's very much required to restrict drag and drop option BI catalog page to prevent the users from moving objects/folders from one place to other knowingly or unknowingly.

    It would be great if we can achieve this which will help us to prevent the integration/extract failures because the report is moved to different folder by the user unknowingly.

  • +1, highly desired feature.

  • It will be highly appreciated if Oracle implement such solution, i.e. option to enable/disable drag and drop report/folder movement. We definitely need that.

  • We definitely need a functionality to prevent drag and drop for report folders.

  • Hi All,

    Can I ask if you agree with this, can you put a thumbs up at the top of the page so oracle will take it forward for us please? 😁

    Thanks
