Capability to limit user by number of reports

Question

Hi all,

My company has a product based on OBIEE, some of our customers want to buy only few reports .

My question is: what is the best way to allow a customer to view only the reports he wants?

some additional requirements :

1. need to be part of the installation process.( maybe using a csv file with the names of the customer reports )

2. other reports need to be hidden/removed from the catalog

Thanks

Alex

In the doc, via webservices, probably can also do something with runcat ...

As you don't want to share more that all you will get (the more you give, the more you get ...).

Thanks for the replay, script-base solution looks like a good idea.  Where can I find good examples on how to changes Analysis ( thanks for the clarification  )  permissions using a script?

Thanks for clarifying things Gianni.

@ OP: You developed something yourself for which we can not know how it is done in detail.

Thinking of securing things after the fact when all is done is very hard and generally a bad idea because you have already done things in a certain way and must now work with what is there.

That should have been something to think about from the beginning. Now you most likely have to invent a rather complex solution - like script-based change of folder permissions.

tl;dr it is your custom development and unless you are more precise we can hardly help you
